The book Le Morte d'Arthur has tons of stories about knights and grand battles in it, and it includes characters like King Arthur, Merlin, and Lancelot. Also, the Illiad and the Odyssey by Homer are worth reading. Tolkien, himself, wrote an essay about the story Beowulf, which is one of my favorites. It's about monsters and the warrior Beowulf who fights them. For more Christian fantasy, try reading C. S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia, especially the second book in the series The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and the last book The Last Battle. These are just a few books you will probably like if you enjoy Tolkien's books. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
