Le Guin started writing A Wizard of Earthsea at the beginning of September 1966. Charles, her husband, took over the kids as soon as he was done grading finals and she finished the first draft two days before Christmas.
Two pages from Ursula K Le Guin’s Wizard of Earthsea manuscript. On display in the UK for the first time. At the British Library Fantasy exhibition. Go today with your extra hour?
