Hedrigall posted:I've been considering buying the Earthsea Quartet for years, and thanks to this thread I finally went and bought this very pretty edition. It has the first four novels (hence "quartet"). Am I right in thinking that, once I'm done with this volume, all I'll need to get is The Other Wind and Tales from Earthsea to have the complete experience? There's also two related short stories in The Wind's Twelve Quarters  In fact, checking wiki it appears they were where she created Earthsea, basically. The Wind's Twelve Quarters is my favorite short story book, with Darkness Box and Things being some of my favorite short stories ever, so you should get it anyway.

Oh, I just remembered something: If you like Earthsea, I'd recommend giving Peter S. Beagle's Innkeeper's Song a try, along with his short story collection (in the same setting) Giant Bones. It's the closest fantasy to Le Guin's stuff I've ever come across.

Yeah, I'm always surprised each time I go to reread Wizard of Earthsea at how thin the book is. So much happens in the book, so beautifully described, and yet it isn't even 200 pages long  I've read books three times as thick that didn't have half as much going on.
