A BBC Radio full-cast dramatisation, based on the first three books in Ursula Le Guin's bestselling 'Earthsea' cycle.

Set on a vast archipelago of islands, where magic is a central part of life, 'Earthsea' tells the intertwined stories of Ged and Tenar.

Ged is a boy from the island of Gont, born with innate magical talent and a reckless nature, who tampers with long-held secrets and releases a terrible shadow into the world. He must risk everything in order to restore the balance... Meanwhile, Tenar, a girl from the island of Atuan, is taken from her home and family to become Arha, the Priestess Ever Reborn, guardian of the ominous Tombs of Atuan.

Deep within the Tombs, Ged and Tenar encounter one another and seek a way of bringing peace to the troubled archipelago.

Ursula Le Guin's 'Earthsea' series have sold millions of copies and been translated into sixteen languages, and this epic dramatisation of 'A Wizard of Earthsea', 'The Tombs of Atuan' and 'The Farthest Shore' will take you deep into a rich fantasy world of sorcery, wizards and dragons. Among the cast are Shaun Dooley (Broadchurch) and Toby Jones (Dad's Army. Duration: 3 hours 30 minutes approx.

Finally a book worth finishing!
I got Book 1 from a free library at work and enjoyed it enough that I wanted to finish the series. I got this book -- with all 3 books in it -- from the local public library. It took me a long time to read but that wasn't the fault of the book, just my not making time to read.

I am so glad I kept at it and eventually did finish it because it was so worth it! Each book was so good.

I would describe the series as a younger version of The Lord of the Rings and an older version of Harry Potter -- if you enjoyed either of those series, you'll enjoy this one.

Coming to this trilogy after reading LeGuin's "The Dispossesed" and "The Left Hand of Darkness" is probably not the right way to do it. I had also read her other early novels: Rocannon's World; Planet of Exile and City of Illusions, and Earthsea is definitely along those lines: poetic, dramatic sci-fi but without the allure of her 'smart' sci-fi works that deal with larger issues of identity and politics.

You can certainly see where other authors (like Patrick Rothfuss' Kingkiller Chronicles) have stolen some ideas, since the mage at the heart of the story is quintessential-wise-young man material.

All in all, it's enjoyable, and it certainly would have lingered more in my mind if I had read it at an earlier age or before reading better crafted fantasy and sci-fi (even by LeGuin herself). It doesn't disappoint, but it should be a 'starter' book for a fantasy fan, since it loses in comparison to newer, better plotted books.

Read it many times. It's been one of my favourite since the childhood. ( )

These books are AWESOME!!!! You should read them if you are interested in practicing magic, ritual, or meditation because they illustrate why it's important to deal with your own sh*t if you're going to go exploring "inner space," and what happens if you don't. Serves as a good warning to those just starting out on their path of spiritual soul-searching, of the harm that ego, selfishness, and hubris (that fatal flaw the old Greek tragedies warned against) can do to a seeker and those near and dear to her.

The first book, "A Wizard of Earthsea" was on my first coven's reading list, and I learned a great deal from it. I now own a hardcover copy of the book, and I'm never letting go of it! That was my introduction to the "Earthsea" trilogy. LeGuin wrote several more stories beyond the original trilogy, including "The Other Wind" and "Tales from Earthsea." ( )

Back in the mid-80s when Harry Potter wasn’t even a twinkle in JK’s eye, A Wizard of Earthsea won my heart as a magical coming of age story. I had some reservations about revisiting this series: I shouldn't have. This is gloriously written, richly imagined and deeply thoughtful. And oh, my poor aching heart - one of the poignant joys of Earthsea is how much more moving it is to read as an adult.
