 | Black Ships by Jo Graham
Buy new: £5.96 / Used from: £0.01 First of all, I've read heaps of books, really... but THIS ONE.. my vocabulary fails me whenever I try to describe it. Not exactly what you may consider 'fantasy', this is more of a myth retelling.
|
 | Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey
Buy used from: £1.47 If the fact that the main character is a slightly sado-masochistic courtesan discourages you, don't worry; it did the same to me... just do me a favour and give it a go anyway ;p
|
 | Maia by Richard Adams
Buy used from: £0.01 Only for lovers of really really long books - definitely worth the hunt
|
 | The Worm Ouroboros (Millennium Fantasy Masterworks) by E. R. Eddison
Buy new: £7.19 / Used from: £2.86 an epic!
|
| Strands of Starlight by Gael Baudino
Buy used from: £0.01 A great choice for fans of Robin McKinley and her 'Deerskin' which probably needs no introduction..
|
 | Robin McKinley Collection by Robin McKinley
Buy used from: £6.50 (or just in case?)
|
 | Beauty (Fantasy Masterworks) by Sheri S. Tepper
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £0.04 Fairy folk; this is a wonderful tale written in a delightfully lush detail
|
 | The Dreaming Tree: "Dreamstone" and "Tree of Swords and Jewels" by C.J. Cherryh
Buy used from: £1.37 Dreamlike and so beautiful; random use of Celtic & Old English words as names is lovely but definitely NOT the only reason why you should read this right now:)
|
 | Daughter of the Forest (Sevenwaters Trilogy) by Juliet Marillier
Buy new: £5.49 / Used from: £0.01 A strikingly beautiful retelling of an exceptional fairy tale, giving it both dimension and Celtic backgorund
|
 | The Little White Horse by Elizabeth Goudge
Buy new: £3.48 / Used from: £0.01 Children/YA fantasy at its infancy, this is also one of the loveliest books I've ever read
|
 | The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún by J R R Tolkien
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £4.25 Tolkien needs no introduction but no fantasy list is complete without listing some of his monumental work. I just can't wait to read this one!
|
 | His Dark Materials Boxed set: "Northern Lights", "The Subtle Knife", "The Amber Spyglass" by Philip Pullman
Buy new: £15.24 / Used from: £14.13 One of the best books I have ever read, it will stay with me always
|
 | The Black Chalice by Marie Jakober
Buy used from: £1.27 Order it used as I did; it is a ridiculous price for such a pretty hardback, and the story is shamefully little known for all its beauty and abundance of depth
|
 | The Mists of Avalon (Ballantine Reader's Circle) by Marion Zimmer Bradley
Buy used from: £2.17 THIS-BOOK-IS-NOT-BORING! Thank you :-D...
|
 | The Neverending Story by Michael Ende
Buy used from: £12.46 One of my best spent reading hours, and I'm not kidding you... Do yourself a favour and order it in hardcover, and once you get it you'll see why...

Listmania!
