The following are a few of my favorite fantasy reads:
• The Hobbit (and The Lord of the Rings) by J.R.R. Tolkien
My long-time favorite and the one that started it all for me
• Which Witch? by Eva Ibbotson
A fun tale about a good witch trying so hard to be bad
• The Thirteen Clocks by James Thurber
Beautiful and poetic writing
• Wyrd Sisters by Terry Pratchett
Granny Weatherwax! What more is there to say?
• The Raven Boys (series The Raven Cycle) by Maggie Stiefvater
A riveting fantasy infused with humor, and I just loved Blue Sargent’s quirky family
• The Girl of Fire and Thorns (series) by Rae Carson
Excellent high fantasy with an unlikely heroine
• Harry Potter (series) by J.K. Rowling
• The Princess Bride by William Goldman
• Redwall (series) by Brian Jacques
Like the legends of King Arthur and Robin Hood, but with woodland creatures
• The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis
A classic
And many more…
