Embark on an enchanting journey through Ursula Le Guin's captivating Earthsea saga, a quartet of tales that follow the young Ged as he evolves from a humble goatherd to a formidable wizard. This collection, comprising 'A Wizard of Earthsea', 'The Tombs of Atuan', 'The Farthest Shore', and 'Tehanu', invites readers to explore a world where magic and morality intertwine.

Le Guin's masterful prose weaves a tapestry of adventure, wisdom, and self-discovery. We witness Ged's transformation from an impetuous youth to the revered Archmage Sparrowhawk, as he grapples with the true nature of power and the consequences of his actions. Along the way, he aids the High Priestess Tenar in her escape from darkness and confronts the encroaching forces of evil that threaten the very fabric of Earthsea.

Hailed as a literary titan by contemporaries such as Margaret Atwood, Neil Gaiman, and Stephen King, Le Guin's Earthsea series stands as a cornerstone of fantasy literature. Her richly imagined world and profound exploration of human nature continue to captivate readers, offering a magical experience that lingers long after the final page is turned.

Previously published as 'The Earthsea Quartet', this collection is an essential addition to any bookshelf, inviting both newcomers and longtime admirers to lose themselves in the spellbinding realm of Earthsea.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
