I enjoyed (especially the letter from Gollum)(and The Leiber of course) it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The Wizard&#8221; was also published by Puffins &amp; by Gollancz, + Gollancz is going on with the two sequels (The sequel and the trequel?) &#8211; &#8220;Tombs of &#8220;Atuan&#8221; which comes out this autumn I think, + &#8220;The Farthest Shore&#8221; a year or so from now. Theirs is the only uniform edition in English + they have really smashing dust jackets by David Smee &#8211; the only illustrator I&#8217;ve had who seems to see things as I do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in the 50&#8217;s I was one of the people who went around wistfully asking everybody, &#8220;Have you heard of a writer named TOLKIEN&#8221; and they said, Who? It is nice to be one of a throng for once!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Very best wishes,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ursula LeGuin<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this episode guest Peter Balestrieri brings us a letter from Ursula LeGuin that he found tucked inside of a recently donated copy of &#8220;The Farthest Shore.&#8221; LISTEN: Download this episode (right click and save) Guest Peter Balestrieri Citation LeGuin, Ursula to Martin, John Located in &#8220;The Farthest Shore.&#8221; Allen and Brenda Lewis Science Fiction<a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/2018\/02\/20\/historically-yours-podcast-ursula-leguin-earthsea-and-tolkien-with-guest-peter-balestrieri\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">&#8220;Historically Yours Podcast: Ursula LeGuin, Earthsea, and Tolkien with guest Peter Balestrieri&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":115,"featured_media":5850,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[79],"tags":[487,449,144,486],"syndication":[435],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5847"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/115"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5847"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5847\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7643,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5847\/revisions\/7643"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5850"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5847"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5847"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5847"},{"taxonomy":"syndication","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/syndication?post=5847"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
