I'd say the difference between Pullman on the one hand and Lewis and Tolkien isn't that Pullman is preachy. It's that Lewis and Tolkien (generally, not always) rise above a bar where their preachyness flies under the radar.

Stories should have a point, which is a conflict. If the story goes nowhere and does nothing, it's not really a story.

Hm yes that's true.

No. Not necessarily conflict. That's a western fallacy:

But yes, they do need a point, and I totally agree with the rest of your comment. :)
