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

A fun tale about a good witch trying so hard to be bad

The Thirteen Clocks by James Thurber
Beautiful and poetic writing

Granny Weatherwax! What more is there to say?

A riveting fantasy infused with humor, and I just loved Blue Sargent’s quirky family

Excellent high fantasy with an unlikely heroine
