Discover the late Ursula Le Guin's passionate and enthralling story
of a young boy sent to a school of wizardry to learn the ways of
magic in the opening quartet of the Earthsea story. 'One of the
literary greats' Margaret Atwood 'The deepest and smartest of
writers. Her words are always with us. Some of them are written on
my soul' Neil Gaiman A Wizard of Earthsea * The Tombs of Atuan *
The Farthest Shore * Tehanu Ged is but a goatherd on the island of
Gont when he comes by his strange powers over nature. Sent to the
School of Wizards on Roke, he learns the true way of magic and
proves himself a powerful magician. And it is as the Archmage
Sparrowhawk that he helps the High Priestess Tenar escape the
labyrinth of darkness. But over the years, Ged witnesses true magic
and the ancient ways submit to the forces of evil and death. Will
he too succumb, or can he hold them back? 'Superb. One of
literature's best-written fantasy worlds. I adored A Wizard of
Earthsea, which I read and reread until my ratty old paperback copy
required emergency surgery. Le Guin's words are magical. Drink this
magic up. Drown in it. Dream it' David Mitchell 'One of the greats.
A literary icon' Stephen King 'A colossus of literature, a
trailblazer' China Mieville Previously titled The Earthsea Quartet.
