A Wizard of Earthsea
by Ursula K. Le Guin (Author)
Ged, the greatest sorcerer in all Earthsea, was once a young and reckless goatherd called Sparrowhawk.
Hungry for power and knowledge, Sparrowhawk tampered with long-held secrets and loosed a terrible shadow upon the world. This is the tale of his testing, how he mastered the mighty words of power, tamed an ancient dragon, and crossed death's threshold to restore the balance.
Recognition: Boston Globe-Horn Book Award for Fiction (1969); Lewis Carroll Shelf Award (1979)
