Description

Discover 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

A Wizard of Earthsea * The Tombs of Atuan * The Farthest Shore * Tehanu


Ged is but a young 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.

Over the years and distances, he hones his craft and helps the High Priestess Tenar escape the labyrinth of darkness. But it is as Archmage Sparrowhawk that 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?

‘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.
