  • Earthsea

    A classic of the fantasy genre in line with Tolkien and Martin These books were a classic in the 60s when written and still are great I read these books a long while ago and enjoyed revisiting them and this book has all in the sesries together in a lovely animated book I like it’s all together but in consequence weighty at nearly 1000 pages but it’s a really good read the books are character based and really a joy to read again

  • Beautiful book of collected Earthsea stories,

    Beautiful book for Ursula Le Guin fans - not as illustrated as I thought it would be, but still very lovely. I have loved the Earthsea stories for years, my original paperback trilogy was falling to bits, now I have all of the books in a decent hardback, including the latest ones that I didn't even know existed.

  • Such good quality writing

    Have avoided wizard/dragon epics but love Le Guin's wonderful books and thought this might be a good time to tackle Earthsea. So glad I did. Her perspective and marvellous prose make this volume a real treat.
