Publisher's Synopsis
Ursula Le Guin's groundbreaking fantasy sagas form the basis of these two BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisations. 'Earthsea' is a magical archipelago rich with wizards and dragons, where young wizard Ged tampers with long-held secrets and releases a terrible shadow into the world. In 'The Left Hand of Darkness', in a snow-changed city in the middle of an Ice Age on an alien world, one young man prepares for the biggest mission of his life.
