Earthsea: The First Four Books

Rebel Disruptive Stories from Trailblazing Women - a new Puffin Classics collection, celebrating International Women's Day 2023

'One of the literary greats of the 20th century' - Margaret Atwood

The First Four Books is a collection of one of the most beloved and influential fantasy works of all time. The series follows two main Ged, who grows from an arrogant boy to one of the most powerful mages Earthsea has ever known; and Tenar, who escapes her fate as a child-priestess, and must fight for a life of her own.

Filled with soaring, dangerous and beautifully-spun magic; evocative, sweeping settings; and extraordinarily vivid, emotionally complex characters, once read, the Earthsea series will never be forgotten.

Rebel Voices is a new six-part Puffin Classics collection of strikingly designed, highly collectible books, written by female authors, and celebrating courage, rebellion, strength and inspiration.

Praise for The Tombs of Atuan (book two): 'A classic of stealth-missile literature, a fantasy adventure that's actually a feminist horror thriller.' Entertainment Weekly
