1) A Wizard of Earthsea, 1968 (named to the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award list in 1979)
2) The Tombs of Atuan, 1971 (Newbery runner-up)
3) The Farthest Shore, 1972 (National Book Award)
Each novel in the series [as shown above] has received a literary award, including the 1969 Boston Globe-Horn Book Award for Fiction & the 1979 Lewis Carroll Shelf Award for A Wizard of Earthsea, the 1972 Newbery Honor for The Tombs of Atuan, the 1973 National Book Award for Children's Books for The Farthest Shore, the 1990 Nebula Award for Best Novel for Tehanu, and the 2002 World Fantasy Award for Best Novel for The Other Wind.
There are a few more in the series. If you like these, then I suggest you read them all.

thank you. you have a great eye for details, i will surely read them all. but isn't there any need to stick on the classics? I mean i dont want to make a fool of myself just for not reading a few books which could only take some more days...
