The primary BBC radio adaptation of Ursula K. Le Guin's cycle is a comprehensive first broadcast on BBC Radio 4 Extra in 2015 . This dramatization, adapted by Judith Adams, weaves together the first three novels of the series— A Wizard of Earthsea , The Tombs of Atuan , and The Farthest Shore . An earlier two-hour standalone adaptation of A Wizard of Earthsea also aired in 1996. Production & Evolution : James McArdle plays a reckless young Ged
