  <description><![CDATA[Ursula K. LeGuin follows her classic trilogy from Earthsea with a magical  tale that won the 1991 Nebula Award for Science Fiction. Unlike the tales in the  trilogy, this novel is short and concise, yet it is by no means simplistic. Promoted as a  children's book because of the awards garnered in that category by her previous work,  <em>Tehanu</em> transcends classification and shows the wizardry of female magic.  The story involves a middle-age widow who sets out to visit her dying mentor and  eventually cares for his favourite student. ]]></description>

    <![CDATA[<p> Years before, they had escaped together from the sinister Tombs of Atuan -- she, an isolated young priestess, he, a powerful wizard. Now she is a farmer's widow, having chosen for herself the simple pleasures of an ordinary life. And he is a broken old man, mourning the powers lost to him not by choice. <p> A lifetime ago, they helped each other at a time of darkness and danger. Now they must join forces again, to help another -- the physically and emotionally scarred child whose own destiny remains to be revealed. <p> With millions of copies sold, <strong>Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea Cycle</strong> has earned a treasured place on the shelves of fantasy lovers everywhere. Complex, innovative, and deeply moral, this quintessential fantasy sequence has been compared with the work of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, and has helped make Le Guin one of the most distinguished fantasy and science fiction writers of all time. She lives in Portland, Oregon.</p></p></p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[<em>Tehanu</em> is the fourth entry in the Earthsea Cycle. It was written years after the original trilogy, and it shows: It is markedly different from the other books, both in style and in substance. Sadly, it is also inferior to the earlier books.

    <![CDATA[The magnificent conclusion to the three-million-copy Earthsea cycle--Tehanu. Each of Le Guin's three previous volumes in this series has shipped well over a million copies, and the three volumes have been compared with The Lord of the Rings and Narnia stories as being among the genre's greatest creations. Le Guin is a four-time Nebula Award-winner. HC: Atheneum.]]>

    <![CDATA[Ursula K. LeGuin follows her classic trilogy from Earthsea with a magical tale that won the 1991 Nebula Award for Science Fiction. Unlike the tales in the trilogy, this novel is short and concise, yet it is by no means simplistic. Promoted as a children's book because of the awards garnered in that category by her previous work, <strong>Tehanu</strong> transcends classification and shows the wizardry of female magic. The story involves a middle-age widow who sets out to visit her dying mentor and eventually cares for his favorite student.]]>

    <![CDATA[The magnificent conclusion to the three-million-copy Earthsea cycle--Tehanu. Each of Le Guin's three previous volumes in this series has shipped well over a million copies, and the three volumes have been compared with The Lord of the Rings and Narnia stories as being among the genre's greatest creations. Le Guin is a four-time Nebula Award-winner. HC: Atheneum.]]>
