A Wizard of Earthsea

The First Book of Earthsea

By: Ursula K. Le Guin

Narrated by: Kobna Holdbrook-Smith

Ged, the greatest sorcerer in all Earthsea, was called Sparrowhawk in his reckless youth.

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.

Quality voice acting.

He sounds like 'a little much' at first, but I was impressed by the subtle transformation of his/Ged's character-voice: from sullen sulky teen to brooding lad to stoic man grown. Loads of pathos. Get your pathos.

Classic

Incredible, deep, awesome :-)
Highly recommended for everyone around :-) no matter the age or gender :-) happy reading

One of the greatest Fantasy Stories written.

Fantasy lovers must have read/listened to this book series. A typical heroic story of a wizard from young and naive to wise and powerful.

Absolutely recommend this version, the narrator gives the story a wonderful sparkle and interpretation.

Le Guin + H-Smith = Great performance 🙌👏🏻

A classic told by a great sounding voice with nuances and consistent style. Will listen to this again

Fantastic

One of my Favourite books, well narrated! I am looking forward to completing the series
