The Never Too Old to Save the World Bundle

Blurb:

Fantasy is riddled with tales of teens and young adults saving the world. The parents are usually dead, clueless, or waving goodbye as their kids head off to potential death and definite trauma.

Not in this bundle. Here, middle-aged heroines and heroes claim and keep their power. They lift others up and don't shy away from tackling new or continuing challenges. They're older, maybe wiser, and they're certainly not out of the fight!

This bundle shows that saving the world, homes, and communities isn't just for younger folk, and that those 40+ are still kicking butt! – Marie Bilodeau

Damn you beat me. I read about this on printsf reddit and started organising the titles to work out what was in it and then wondered if someone might have already done it.

A little too many I wouldn't for me to buy at the full price. It has all of the Earthsea books but less than half the Hainish cycle. Two of the titles are novellettes, there are seval short stories collections, 4 books are catwings childrens books, it has all of the YA Annals of the Western Shore series, a couple of poetry books and some nonfiction.

Just FYI, the books are NOT drm-free downloads from humble bundle like most bundles (I have bought are), you get a code for Kobo and redeeming them is apparently a pain in the arse and only 1 of them is DRM free.
