R. R. Tolkien (Unionhawk)Unionhawk: Both good fantasy series. Lord of the Rings is a slightly more difficult read though... 2914 His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman (guurtjesboekenkast)196 So You Want to be a Wizard by Diane Duane (tortoise, persky, suzanney, FFortuna, nfeldbaum)174 The Tales of Beedle the Bard by J.

When they arrive they are amazed at how much land their grandparents own-a vast forest, expansive grounds, and a beautiful garden. When Seth goes to explore the forest (although his Grandfather has clearly forbidden it), he meets Muriel, a cunning witch who tries to capture him. This meeting soon unlocks a great secret that their grandparents have been guarding for many years. This is an exciting, funny, and mysterious fantasy that I highly recommend reading!… (more) 80 The Books of Magic by Neil Gaiman (TomWaitsTables)TomWaitsTables: You want an explanation? Read The Books of Magic; if you loved Sorcerer's Stone, which is about an ordinary boy discovering a whole new world where he finds a future larger than he had ever imagined, you will love Neil Gaiman's The Books of Magic. If you ever find yourself thinking that after an awful lot of sequels and years of a multi-billion dollar franchise being squeezed for every Knut, that the world of Harry Potter has lost its magic, I urge you to rediscover it again in The Books of Magic. There is nothing else to say; there is only awe and wonders.… (more) 91 The Worst Witch by Jill Murphy (cransell, Wraith_Ravenscroft)cransell: The first in an enjoyable series of stories about a young witch at boarding school.
