Orsinian Tales by Ursula K. Le Guin 

FIRST PAPERBACK PRINTING [1977] BANTAM BOOKS

Vintage paperback in very good reading condition.   

Cover has some wear to edges. Some yellow discoloration to binding around edges.

Small stain to outer text block and a few pin sized holes visible on cover and pages at front of the book before tapering off [looks like the work of a stapler].   Reads nicely with some yellowing to top of page margins [see photos]

Orsinia ... a land of medieval forests, stonewalled cities, and railways reaching into the mountains where the old gods dwell. A country where life is harsh, dreams are gentle, and people feel torn by powerful forces and fight to remain whole.

In this enchanting collection, Ursula K. Le Guin brings to mainstream fiction the same compelling mastery of word and deed, of story and character, of violence and love, that has won her the Pushcart Prize, and the Kafka and National Book Awards.
