‘A Wizard of Earthsea’ by Ursula Le Guin was first published in the UK in 1971 and has been considered a classic of children’s fantasy ever since. It follows the story of Ged, a poor smith’s son, who discovers a magical talent and is sent away from home to a wizard school. During a duel with a fellow student, he summons a terrible shadow creature which he tries to banish, but it continues to haunt him long after he finishes his magical training.
