 | The Lord of the Rings: AND The Hobbit (Collins Modern Classics) by J.R.R. Tolkien
Buy used from: £25.26 The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings. This is the original fantasy series but is actually a little slow to start. Needs to be read before watching the LOTR films, which I suspect few will now do.
|
 | Assassin's Apprentice (The Farseer Trilogy - Book 1) by Robin Hobb
Buy new: £6.46 / Used from: £2.13 The first of the Farseer Trilogy. This series has it all: well-developed characters, fast paced plot, mystery, adventure and political intrigue. The fantasy element increases as the series progresses.
|
 | The Liveship Traders 1: Ship of Magic by Robin Hobb
Buy new: £6.46 / Used from: £0.75 The first of the Liveship Trilogy. Follows on from the above but told in the third person.
|
 | Fool's Errand: Book One of the Tawny Man (Tawny Man 1) by Robin Hobb
Buy new: £5.96 / Used from: £0.75 The first of the Tawny Man Trilogy. Follows on from the above trilogy, but told in style of the farseer trilogy.
|
 | Shaman's Crossing: Soldier Son Trilogy Bk. 1: Book One of The Soldier Son Trilogy by Robin Hobb

|
 | The Magicians' Guild: Black Magician Trilogy, Book 1 by Trudi Canavan

|
 | His Dark Materials Gift Set: "Northern Lights", "The Subtle Knife", "The Amber Spyglass" by Philip Pullman
Buy used from: £10.00 His Dark Materials Trilogy. Super trilogy, full of imagination and adventure. Unfortunately, I found the ending to be disappointing as many questions were left unanswered.
|
 | The Abhorsen Trilogy 3 Volume Boxed Set by Garth Nix
Buy used from: £22.25 The Abhorsen/Old Kingdom Trilogy. These books are well written and full of wonderful ideas. I was a little disappointed with the ending though.
|
 | Harry Potter Boxed Set (Adult Edition): Contains: Philosopher's Stone / Chamber of Secrets / Prisoner of Azkaban / Goblet of Fire / Order of the ... Hollows (Contains all 7 books in the series) by J.K. Rowling
Buy new: £67.23 / Used from: £65.01 The Harry Potter series. Very well known 7 book series. Books 1, 3, and 7 are my favs of these.
|
 | The Bartimaeus Trilogy Boxed Set by Jonathan Stroud
Buy new: £21.40 / Used from: £43.65 The Bartimaeus Trilogy. This is an amusing fast-paced series centred around the two main characters: Bartimaeus (a wisecracking Djinni) amd Nathanial (a trainee magician).
|
 | Lord Loss (Book One of The Demonata) by Darren Shan
Buy new: £5.00 / Used from: £0.01 The first book in the Demonata series. Better than the Saga of Darren Shan but still weak in comparison to other fantasy series.
|
 | Vampire Blood Trilogy (Saga of Darren Shan) by Darren Shan
Buy new: £6.46 / Used from: £2.49 Vampire Blood Trilogy. This is the first of 4 trilogies in the Saga of Darren Shan. Starts ok but aimed at young readers and lacks depth.
