The Lovereading comment:
Ursula Le Guin’s creation of Earthsea, an ancient world of wizards, magic, darkness and light and an ever-shifting balance of power is an acknowledged masterpiece. It’s undoubtedly one of the major works of fantasy from the 20th century. With wonderful cross-over appeal it is sure to enchant adults and children alike.

Reviews
Earthsea is a magical world, full of enchantment. The Wizard of Earthsea must fight off the forces of evil and darkness in their various shapes before, 'done with doing', he flies off on his dragon to 'the farthest shore'. These prize-winning stories are brilliantly crafted, richly imagined and engaging. (Kirkus UK)About The Author
