Little, Big117 reviews John Crowley Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 2006 Poetic diversion + This may well be my favorite book of all time + Simply Magnificant, Stellar, Wonderful, and Everything Between To be fair, this book is not for everyone. In rapt affection, i read passages to my friend, and he balked at the superfluous language. He is a man who enjoys concise, dense language full of references that would make Pound proud. He doesn't read poetry, or like language for the sake of language. ...             The Illearth War (Donaldson, Stephen R. , Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, the Unbeliever, Bk. 2.)67 reviews Stephen R. Donaldson Del Rey, 1997 Back to the Land! + Part two of First Chronicle + Not Free SF Reader + The Greatest double trilogy ever written!             The Forgotten Beasts of Eld (Magic Carpet Books)91 reviews Patricia A. McKillip Magic Carpet Books, 2006 Never forgotten + Good Book I read this book perhaps 30 years ago, fell in love with it and Patricia McKillip then, and I've just reordered it to see how it re-reads. Although it's fantasy fiction I actually learned a lot about self-awareness from The Forgotten Beasts of Eld. A beautiful book, wonderfully well written.             The Last Unicorn: (40th Anniversary Edition)200 reviews Peter S. Beagle Roc Trade, 1991 A Dark, Philosophical Fantasy that should certainly not be classified as young adults' fiction. + A unique and magical fairy tale + great movie and book + A must for any children's collection! + The Everlasting Love of the Last Unicorn             The Neverending Story265 reviews Michael Ende Dutton Juvenile, 1997 Beautiful Edition + both movies in one book + One of the best spiritual books of all time - not just for kids! + My favorite book of all time... + The Neverending Story             Cygnet2 reviews Patricia A. McKillip Ace Trade, 2007 The Cygnet flies + Two in one Two of Patricia McKillip's most lyrical books are the Cygnet duology, the story of a sorcerous family and the mysterious forces that shape their world. "Cygnet" compiles those books, bringing together the intoxicating mixture of unique magic, invisible dragons, and McKillip's shimmering prose. ...             The King of Elfland's Daughter (Del Rey Impact)55 reviews Lord Dunsany Del Rey, 1999 The illusive boundary between the fields we know, and the fields that we do not... + The Change in the World + An elegant, lapidary masterpiece I'll be brief here. Quite simply, I wish that I would have been introduced to this book three or four decades ago. I've read fantasy off and on for most of my life but somehow I missed this gem of the first and best. It is immediately obvious where Tolkien received much of his inspiration, but it ...             Lord Foul's Bane (The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever, Book 1)340 reviews Stephen R. Donaldson Del Rey, 1997 Don't listen to the nay sayers! Great Book and series! + "Be true. You need not fail." I am re-reading the two series after reading them 20 years ago. I have read some of the negative reviews and was kind of amazed. I am willing to accept people have differnt views, but I figured that anyone reading these books would like rich fanatsy { Tolkien, Feist, etc}. Yes, they are not ...             The Power That Preserves (The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever, Book 3)58 reviews Stephen R.
