Earthsea


One of my favourite fantasy books. I can't find who did this wonderful illustration but the books are (the first three anyway) fantastic in the full sense of that word.

This image may be from the brilliant anime version.

The tv version was crap, despite the pretty Kristin Kreuk and was rightly universally panned.

I don't know if you have read the books, but they have a really different take on Magic.

I loved Ursula K. Le Guin's earthsea books!

Thanks SLS - She made me see fantasy writing in a new way and is still much better imho than many blockbuster fantasies.

Yes!I think is wonderful, too. Can be that at this moment you know it, but the image is from the film Gedo Senki, of the director Goro Miyazaki.

Wonderful blog, congratulations from Spain!
