Summary |
The tales in Le Guin's new book explore or extend the world-renowned realm of fantasy established by her first four Earthsea novels. The tales included in this book ("The Finder," "The Bones of the Earth," "Darkrose and Diamond," "On the High Marsh," and "Drangonfly") concern themselves with wizards, courtship, earthquakes, and a woman's determination to break the glass ceiling of male magedom. Ursula K. Le Guin's writings have earned her multiple Hugo and Nebula awards and the National Book Award. |
