BeagleDepending also on how you define fantasy, or what type of fantasy your looking for, also everything by Ray Bradbury, especially the October Country collection. He's often refered to as a science fiction writer, but what he writes is actually primarily fantasy. Madeline L'Engle's "Time Quartet" (A Wrinkle in Time, a Wind In the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet and Many Waters)Everything by Lovecraft. And various stuff already mentioned. Earthsea, Prydain, etc.Also, although I enjoyed all of the Eddings's stuff (well, both the Belegariad/Mallorean and the Elenium/Tamuli, along with Belgarath the Sorcerer and Polgara the Sorcereress) I would suggest stearing clear of the Rivan Codex. It contains a lot of the background notes and ideas for the Belgariad/Mallorean, but it also contains a lot of thoughts and opinions of the author which I often found annoying and unpleasant and sort of put me off the stories. Your mileage may of course vary though.</blockquote>
