No wonder this is so beloved. Le Guin brings a mythic quality to her delightful fantasy tale, giving the feeling of a saga or song of heroes long past from a faraway culture. The world she crafts is so real and tangible, and her vision of magic as song and language is singular. A must read and I feel dumb for waiting on it.
