A Wizard of Earthsea: Do stupid magic win stupid prizes

Teaching My Cat To Read: The “very serious” Book Review Podcast

For our final book of season one we read ‘A Wizard of Earthsea’ the first book in Ursula K le Guin’s Earthsea series. Ged makes a mistake at the beginning, and then makes some more mistakes, potters around the world of Earthsea and does magic and other things. During his adventures, he acquired an Otak, which is very much like a cat, so you know we have feelings about this book. What else do we think of this book? Listen to the episode to find out!
