FerniesApple has just left Hobbiton.
1. Alan Garner - Weirdstone of Brisingamen, Elidor, Moon of Gomrath

Old school fantasy written in the 60s, these are classics, based on Celtic myth, Arthurian legend, nearest I have found to Tolkiens charming style.

2. Neil Gaiman - Neverwhere, Stardust

Neverwhere is probably my favorite book after LOTR, every character is a gem. Its Alice in Wonderland 21st century style. wonderful.


3. Susan Cooper - Dark is Rising trilogy

more classic fantasy from a master. Some of it genuinely thrilling and mysterious.

4. Jonathan Stroud - Bartimaeus trilogy

the most sarcastic and loveable rogue ever. Beautifully written and laugh out loud funny.

5. Philip Pullman - His Dark Materials

Genius. nuff said
