Award winning fantasy writer, author of the Wizard of Earthsea trilogy. As easy to read as it is fascinating.
Ursula K. Le Guin, Acclaimed for Her Fantasy Fiction, Is Dead at 88
... [in 1966] she published “A Wizard of Earthsea,” the first in a series about a made-up world where the practice of magic is as precise as any science, and as morally ambiguous.
The first three Earthsea books — the other two were “The Tombs of Atuan” (1971) and “The Farthest Shore” (1972) — were written, at the request of her publisher, for young adults. But their grand scale and elevated style betray no trace of writing down to an audience.
