About the Book: A Wizard of Earthsea
The first book of Earthsea by Ursula Le Guin is a tale of wizards, dragons and
terrifying shadows. The island of Gont is a land famous for wizards. Of these,
some say the greatest-and surely the greatest voyager-is the man called
Sparrowhawk. As a reckless, awkward boy, he discovered the great power that was
in him-with terrifying consequences. Tempted by pride to try spells beyond his
means, Sparrowhawk lets loose an evil shadow-beast in his land. Only he can
destroy it, and the quest leads him to the farthest corner of Earthsea. .
