I'm still uneasy about the fact that LeGuin felt the need to go back and change Earthsea, make it more &quot;politically correct&quot;- but, if you can get over that, her writing is still quite good.  &quot;The Bones of the Earth&quot; was p...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/74658893">more...</a>]]></body>

Only one story...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/23705186">more...</a>]]></body>

The Earthsea series by Ursula LeGuin begins with A Wizard of Earthsea and continues with The Tombs of Atuan, The Farthest Shore, Tehanu, The Other Wind, and Tales of Earthsea.
