Well, if fantasy means something that is made up, but well written. Then these are my top five!
1.
The Hobbit
It’s got dwarves! Lots and lots of dwarves!
2.
Iliad
Even though this book is over three thousand years old, it’s still a classic. Homer does a wonderful job of depicting the battles and inward struggles that the Greek’s faced.
It’s got Ajax, and he’s almost like a dwarf (a really big dwarf)!
3.
The Lord of the Rings
I love what Tolkien does to all his books. He goes into the very specific with each of the characters and makes you feel as if you are actually living the story.
It’s got Gimli!
4.
Homer’s Odyssey
Not as good as the Iliad, but still a classic read.
5.
The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe
The best book out of all the Chronicles of Narnia series. Lewis has a lot more obvious story line and doesn’t give you that kind of feeling that Tolkien gives. Still, another classic.
It’s got dwarves! Very little puny dwarves that couldn’t lift a real battle axe, but dwarves nonetheless.
