THE EARTHSEA TRILOGY: A Wizard of Earthsea; The Tombs of Atuan; The Farthest Shore.

First UK hardcover edition, first printings. Three volumes. Publisher's original brown, blue and grey cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in the David Smee illustrated dustwrappers. A superb near fine set, the bindings square and firm, lightly rubbed to the extremities 'The Farthest Shore' with some bumping to the spine tips, and just a touch of fading to the cloth at the spine and extreme top edge of 'A Wizard of Earthsea'. The contents, with light spotting to the closed text block, are otherwise clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the ever so lightly creased dustwrappers that are gently (and uniformly) faded to the spines, a little toned and with the occasional small foxing spot to the undersides. None of the dustwrappers are price-clipped (£1.25; £1.25; £1.60 net to the lower front flap respectively). An attractive set.

A beautiful set of Ursula K. Le Guin's multi-award winning work of high fantasy which has been praised by writers such as Margaret Atwood and David Mitchell.
