After seeing the Studio Ghilbli adaption of the book, I bought the story. I have to tell you, if you are interested in fantasy books, Tales of Earthsea is a must. Originally it was a trilogy, and a fourth installment was added two decades later.
Tales is a sometimes dark, but incredible series, taking you into the world of Earthsea, populated by men, women and wizards. It centres around the use of the "True Speech" in which everything has a true name.
You are led through this story by Ged, and his journey through life as he discovers his powers, and evernutally becomes a powerful wizard.
This is not a children's book, it is definitely up there with the works of JRR Tolkien, and worth a read!
