THE WINDS TWELVE QUARTER AND THE COMPASS ROSE PB – URSULA K. LE GUIN

Grand Master Ursula K. LeGuin has been recognised for almost fifty years as one of the most important writers in the SF field – and is likewise feted beyond the confines of the genre. The Wind s Twelve Quarters was her first collection and it brings together some of finest short fiction, including the Hugo Award-winning The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas , the Nebula Award-winning The Day Before the Revolution , and the Hugo-nominated Winter s King , which gave readers their first glimpse of the world later made famous in her Hugo- and Nebula-winning masterpiece The Left Hand of Darkness.
