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
