Reviews
These five superlative, evocative and enchanting stories range from a few hundred years before A WIZARD OF EARTHSEA to just before THE OTHER WIND, and feature some of Le Guin's most popular characters, including the Wizard Ged himself. The stories are rounded off with an essay about Earthsea's history and people. No Earthsea fan will want to be without this magical collection.
"…the five stories here provide a varied and enjoyable introduction to the newcomer, s much as the seasoned traveller…And in the end it's [LeGuin's] more gentle and thoughtful approach which sets the series apart from much of the fantasy mush that followed in Tolkien's wake."
