A Wizard...a Dragon or two...a Unicorn...an Enchantress... they are nearly always one or all of these present in a good Fantasy. Fantasies allow the reader to live in a totally new world for a while. Many offer humor and they are always filled with excitement and adventure. I particularly love the ones with all kinds of animals, real or otherwise. |

mathematician in the world...the Discworld, that is; flat, circular, and carried on the backs of four elephants, who stand on the back of a giant turtle,ten thousand miles long. A most hilarious fantasy, written by Terry Pratchet. |

Harry Potter, the plucky yet nerdy hero of this series, is the embodiment of every uncool kid's fantasy. Unpopular in school, picked on by bullies, and persecuted by his adoptive family, the disheveled and bespectacled Harry manages to not only survive but thrive by discovering friends, magical powers, and a great destiny he never knew he had.

Five years since the lights went out, cars stopped in the streets, and magical creatures began roaming the towns and countrysides of Earth. Steven R. Boyett wrote one of my favorite fantasies about a Unicorn named Ariel and her "friend" Pete Garey, a young loner who survived the Change. |
