Book: A Wizard of Earthsea
Dec. 2nd, 2005 10:22 amAuthor: Ursula Le Guin
Details: (c) Inter-Vivos Trust 1968; Pub 1993 Penguin Books (as single-volume quartet); ISBN 0-14-015427-2
Verdict: A Wizard of Earthsea is moving and beautifully written.
Reasons for reading it: I have been meaning to read it for a while, because I love Le Guin, and because of all the debate about the recent film, and because I couldn't remember whether I read it as a child.
How it came into my hands: I bought it in Galloway and Porter, yay Galloway and Porter.
( detailed review )
Anyway, I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the quartet!
