 cover art by david bergen (credited on back cover)
b+w map by margaret chodos-irvine (© on map)
cover price £3.50 (? overseas territories' prices ?)
208pp. including titles, indicia etc, end pp. advertising

at least three further near-identical printings with same isbn but rising cover prices before penguin parallel-published (or transferred the title to?) a roc p/b (which merkin imprint they'd obtained through the purchase of new american library, inc.) in 1993, which uses the same cover art.

 Rated 8/10
ursula le guin returned to earthsea a decade and a half after finishing the trilogy, in part because of a fan's critical essay examining that excellent work; the results did not enthuse some of her readers, as it isn't a traditional heroic fantasy story involving flashing blades, dramatic dragons and whizz-bang sorcery - or even le guin's earlier, and rather more thoughtful, handling of these traditional tropes.
but "tehanu" is an interesting and absorbing story, for all of its eschewing the obvious: a story of the strength of women in earthsea achieving what ged ultimately cannot, despite his cleverness, knowledge, and awesome power.

a sequel to, and involving some of the characters from - but not a part of - the earthsea trilogy:
#1: "a wizard of earthsea" (1968), q.v. for trilogy (& its sequels) listing and links.
