sea adventure

Earthsea by Ursula Le Guin (1964)
A bona fide Fantasy masterpiece, Le Guin’s Earthsea novels are set in a world that is all ocean, dotted with myriad little islands. All these books are marvellous, but the first three have a special place in my heart, and the third, The Farthest Shore (1972) is the most magical evocation of sea travel and adventure I have ever read.
