A wizard Of Eathsea

Digi_Tilmitt

This book came out ages ago and it had two sequels. They were called 'The Tombs of Atuan' and 'The Farthest Shore.' Has anyone any idea where I might find these? Does anyone know any good book sites?

Thanks.

Actually, there were three sequels, but I cant remember the name of the 4th book. Oh - hang on...I can...its "Tehanu".

I recently bought the set of 4 books as a single volume. It is pointed out in this book that none of these books has gone out of print since their first release, however, I would imagine that
you can no longer buy them individually.

A quick check on Amazon.co.uk reveals that The Earthsea Quartet is available, priced 8.79 stg. Check by title or Author (Ursula Le Guin)

Also there (which I wasnt aware of) is "Tales of Earthsea" which is a collection of short stories I may have to invest in.

While technically childrens books, I found Le Guin's style of writing to be very enjoyable, and I reread the quartet only last week.

Hope this helps.

Wow, I never thought I'd get such a kick-áss response. I'm gonna buy those books. Thanks Lotz!

Welcome.

Given that the Earthsea Quartet is available in the english section my local bookshop here in Bern, Switzerland, I would imagine that your local Waterstones or whatever should also stock it, or can get it easily.

Unfortnately I don't have a local book shop! I live in a group of estates in the suburbs of Limerick and town is the closest place to get books. I'll probably get them off the net.

You live in Sweeden, cool! How did you end up on this site?

Hi Seán - try Mahony's on O'Connell Street or go to www.amazon.com or www.amazon.co.uk - If either Mahony's or Amazon don't have the books they should be able to order them for you.

Er... he said Switzerland

If O'Mahony's dont have them, then perhaps check HodgesFiggis and/or Waterstones online shops (.ie). Being Dublin-based, their postage costs should be lower than amazon.

Switzerland - but everyone makes that mistake

The reason I'm on these boards is because I'm Irish. Not pretend Irish as in "my great-grandmother once lived in Cashel for 2 years, so I am Irish", but real, genuine, born bred and raised in Ireland Irish.

I moved out here from Dublin in April of this year - lifestyle change on account of girlfriend

You can get it off Amazon. given that you an get it on .co.uk a well as .com, I would imagine it was released in Ireland.

Ask your local b'shop to get it for you. Failing that, go order off Amazon.
