The Legend of Earthsea

I spent a couple of evenings in front of the tube watching The Legend of Earthsea from the several novels by Ursula K. LeGuin. I must admit that it's been a thousand years (seems like) since I first read the books. So I don't remember many of the details; can't compare the television production with the novels. The young buck who played Ged or Sparrowhawk was no great shakes. But it was interesting to see Danny Glover in the role of wizard and Isabella Rosellini as the Reverend Mother of a sisterhood. The special effects were average. I met Ursula fairly early on. Along with Larry Paschelke, Anna and I visited her and her husband at their home in Portland. So I've followed her writing career and have read her books for a long time. I was pleased to see this story brought to the screen. I hope she was pleased with the results.
