Purchased on Mighty Ape

An amazing tome of the full collection of the Tales of Earthsea. These fantasy stories are well written and so different, not your run of the mill hack n slash fantasies. The authors notes at the end of each story shows the reader more insight to her mind and efforts in creating such a unique realm.
