Yes, I know I've already posted on this thread, but there are a lot of titles that I forgot to mention.
The Westmark Trilogy by Lloyd Alexander is superb. It doesn't have magic or dragons, or anything else in a normal fantasy book, but it does take place in a land that does not exist so I thought I'd mention it. Compared to Tolkien, Alexander isn't "hard food" but he's still good.
I read a particularly good Star Wars trilogy in my avid SW fan days. They are by Timothy Zahn and are called
Heir to the Empire
Dark Force Rising
The Last Command
But of course "Star Wars" by Lucas is the best... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Another one of my favourites is The Faerie Queen by Edward Spencer. Now I know that is just one big poem and allegory at that, but it still has seductresses, dragons, the pure lady (Una) and, above all, knights! And faeries of course!
The Wrinkle in Time books are also good too, as has been said above.
