The Wizard of Earthsea - Ursula le Guin

Recommended for ages 10-adult.

The Wizard of Earthsea is one of those remarkable fantasy novels which make you suspend all disbelief and take you on a journey of epic proportions. The Wizard of Earthsea is the first in a series of books which explore the growth, development and adventures of an unlikely wizard called Ged.

Engaging and quick to read, the novel is a classic example of the power of fantasy literature to make you believe in the unbelievable.

Although it was first published in 1964, The Wizard of Earthsea is fast becoming part of the classic young adult canon (read: list of great books). Readers of any age who enjoy fantasy literature will be satisfied with this book.
