Synopsis: From the jacket: In The Wind's Twelve Quarters Ursula K. Le Guin, whose most recent novel The Dispossessed, winner of the 1974 Nebula Award, was acclaimed a classic, has put together a superb retrospective collection of her own best short fiction. There are seventeen stories, each with a brief introduction by the author setting it in perspective or giving its background, and a Foreword by Ms. Le Guin describing her experience and approach to writing and to her chosen field of science fiction and fantasy. The stories range widely from fantasy to intriguing scientific concepts, from medieval settings to the future, but all of them are concerned with human values, relationships, and survival under all kinds of stress and turmoil. As usual, the imagination and the emotional content are strong and skillfully handled.
