I recently reread the four books in this series, which have all placed within the confines of the same cover by the publisher, Penguin Books. The original four books, entitled "A Wizard of Earthsea", "The Tombs of Atuan", "The Farthest Shore", and "Tehanu" were favorites of mine as a child, and continued to be so when I reread them all in this quartet.
If you have ever read Tokien, Rowling, or C.S. Lewis, and enjoyed them, then you will likely enjoy this series which is mainly centered around the adventures of the young dragonlord Ged. It follows him from the isle of Roke where he goes to learn the true ways of magic, and shares his adventures all over the land. It follows him from his youthful days as an apprentice to his years as the Archmage, and these epic and spellbinding tales are perfect for any age.
I highly recommend reading these four books as one, or sitting down and just grabbing an original copy of each. You will be extremely happy that you read these books.
