A wizard of EarthseaA wizard of EarthseaLe Guin, Ursula K., 1929-20184020510Book9780547851396 (hc.)<div class="ExternalClass4B1D3851FB9144308BACDF2FE48A160C"><p>​The entire series. Decades before "Harry Potter" was written, the first book of this series was the quintessential story of a talented youth journeying to a renowned school of wizardry to develop extraordinary magical abilities, and that was just the first half of it. The rest of the first book, and the five subsequent installments, follow the entire lifespan of Ged, his vital role in the profound changes to the world of Earthsea, and some important collateral stories along the way. The first two of these books were highpoints of my formative teen reading years, and I was richly rewarded in going back to read the others that had been published since then.</p><p>- Sean​<br></p></div>https://catalog.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/search/searchresults.aspx?ctx=1.1033.0.0.35&type=Advanced&term=wizard%20earthsea&relation=ALL&by=TI&term2=ursula&relation2=ALL&by2=AU&bool1=AND&bool4=AND&limit=&sort=RELEVANCE&page=0&searchid=16
