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. An essential collection of stories from the multi-award-winning Grand Master, Ursula K. LeGuin. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
