I'm not all that much into fantasy stories, if you're talking about reading I mean. (The Star Trek television series, now, was something else altogether.) Hubby and I both enjoyed a sci-fi series some years ago, and of course I can not now remember a title or the author; I do recall that the heroine fought the evil ones valiantly with her sword. I read Watership Down for the first time just last year, and LOVED it; but isn't that more of an allegory than just a fantasy story? I've enjoyed what I've read of Asimov and Heinlein, and OH! The Footprints of God: A Novel by Greg Iles which I also read thanks to my now-defunct book club: WOW what a great story! I was wide-eyed and page-whipping from start to finish.

And of course "Alice in Wonderland" and "Wizard of Oz".
They have to fit in somewhere.
