		Earthsea is a world of a thousand islands and a vast ocean.

	CRITIQUE :: Tales from Earthsea
		Earthsea is an immense archipelago of small and large islands, with most of the trappings of standard fantasy: magic, lonely towers, kings, wizards, and dragons.
		Le Guin shows that Earthsea's institutions are not infallible institutions, but rather, that they are made up of changeable individuals who are prone to error; presumably, she is also commenting on the institutions of our own world.
		The first three Earthsea books, A Wizard of Earthsea, The Tombs of Atuan and The Farthest Shore, were published in the 1960's and 70's, and were one of the finest fantasy trilogies of the twentieth century.

	Bookreporter.com - A WIZARD OF EARTHSEA: (Earthsea Tetrology #1) by Ursula K. Le Guin
		Before the islands of Earthsea became civilized, it was populated by ancient creatures who spoke this language.
		For fans of Star Wars, the wizards of Earthsea are like Jedi Knights and their power is very similar to "the Force." A limited number of men possess power (in varying degrees) and they must make sure that the equilibrium between light and dark is constantly maintained.

		And the world of Earthsea that he inhabits - a seafaring world of emerald islands and faintly Celtic music - may remind some of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth or C.S. Lewis' Narnia.

		The original Trilogy was composed of A Wizard of Earthsea (1968), The Tombs of Atuan (1971), and The Farthest Shore (1972).
		Earthsea also defined the concept of dragons for me. The dragons of Earthsea are wise, powerful, ancient, majestic and magical creatures who care little for the affairs of humans and others who live for such a short time.

	A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin Book Reviews
		This book follows the wizard Ged, who was born in a Earthsea (a grouping of many, many islands) village in Gont.
		"Wizard of Earthsea" is not the best, but it is pretty high up there.
		Le Guin's mythologic style and Eastern philosophy tones may not be to everyone's taste, so I advise you to get a peek at a chapter of the Earthsea books before you decide whether or not to buy this.
