The earthsea quartet5/13/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This was due mainly to the in-depth descriptions of Arha’s visits to the Undertomb and the Labyrinth. The book’s narrative keeps you intrigued although I must admit that I found the opening chapters of The Tombs of Atuan rather hard going. Although this is a book that can be read and enjoyed by children and adults, its themes are far more adult than say, The Chronicles of Narnia or the Harry Potter series. The books, first published in the late 1960’s, are written in a simple, free-flowing style and I quickly fell under their charm. The four books are: A Wizard of Earthsea, The Tombs of Atuan, The Farthest Shore and Tehanu. The novels belong to the high fantasy genre and follow a young boy from the discovery of his magecraft through to him becoming the greatest mage of all time. The Earthsea Quartet brings together Ursula Le Guin’s four legendary Earthsea sagas for the first time in a single volume. ![]()
