Ursula K. Le Guin
Imagine a magical world where a boy goes to a school for wizards, where he must learn to control his enormous talent and come to terms with his own mortality. No, it's not Harry Potter. It's A Wizard of Earthsea, written 25 years before J.K. Rowling put pen to paper. Earthsea's worth it for the beautiful place names alone, and the gorgeous map of the archipelago, where an arrogant young goatherd grows up to become the humble Archmage of all the isles.
A Wizard of Earthsea is one of Lev Grossman's top five fantasy novels.
