'The Finder', a novella set a few hundred years before A Wizard of Earthsea, when the Archipelago was dark and troubled, reveals how the famous school on Roke was started, In 'The Bones of the Earth' the wizards who first taught Ged demonstrate how humility, if great enough, can rein in an earthquake. Sometimes wizards can pursue alternative careers - and ' Darkrose and Diamond' is also a delightful story of young courtship. Return to the time when Ged was Archmage of Earthsea in 'On the High Marsh', a story about the power of love and love of power. And 'Dragonfly', showing how a determined woman can break the glass ceiling of male magedom, provides a bridge - a dragon bridge between Tehanu and The Other Wind. This enchanting collection is rounded off with an essay about Earthsea's history, people, languages, literature and magic.
