A Wizard of
Earthsea The first book of the trilogy of Earthsea tells the story of the wild boy Duny, whose magical powers mark him out as a potential young wizard. Renamed Ged, he travels to the School on the Island of Roke, where he will train to become a wizard. Here, alongside other similar boys, Ged learns of the Deeds of Heroes and the Lays of Wisdom; he masters the arts of winds and weather by sailing in Roke Bay; and studies the ways and properties of the things that grow under the Master Herbal. It is clear that Ged has exceptional talents in wizardry, and his schoolboy training prepares him for a great future as the trilogy unfolds. (11+) |
