Le Guin, Ursula K - Tales from Earthsea (Published in by The Folio Society in 2023. Illustrated by David Lupton. Foreword by the author. For Tales from Earthsea, Ursula K. Le Guin returns to her beloved fantasy world to reveal its very foundations. This Folio Society edition features illustrations by David Lupton. Put up a sail and summon a witch-wind as we travel back to fantasy's most beloved archipelago. With these five exquisite stories of Earthsea, Ursula K. Le Guin weaves her unique magic once again, bringing new depth to one of the genre's great masterpieces. This beautiful collector's edition features seven atmospheric illustrations by artist David Lupton, who worked with Le Guin and her family from the very beginning of this Folio series to bring her vision of Earthsea to life, as well a stirring binding design. In a testament to the richness of her created world, Le Guin wrote a fascinating series of notes on the people, languages, literature and history of the region in 'A Description of Earthsea', also included in this edition. In the foreword, the author talks movingly about her desire to return to the world she created in A Wizard of Earthsea, and the methods by which a writer goes about excavating the history of a fictional landscape. Bound in cloth printed and blocked. Set in Garamond with Dulcinea Serif as display. 344 pages. Frontispiece plus 6 full-colour illustrations. Printed map endpapers. Plain slipcase. 9" x 5.75". )
