5.0 out of 5 stars Short stories by Le Guin, 6 Aug 2006

By	Philip Levine "Philip" (Lincolnshire, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Compass Rose (Paperback)

This collection, a successor to "The Wind's Twelve Quarters", starts with "The Author of the Acacia Seeds" and "The New Atlantis" and maintains something close to that level. If you like Le Guin and don't have this, it's worth buying for either of the first two stories alone.
However, you should be aware that the original publication date was 1982 and the individual stories were first published between 1974 and 1981. Several have appeared in other anthologies, but there are twenty so it's unlikely that you'll have many duplicates (and anyway having two copies of 'Atlantis' isn't a bad thing).
