The very best book that I have read in a long, long time, is THE DRAGON AND THE UNICORN by A.A. ANTONASIO. It involves the Celts and the Romans and sort of a history of King Arthor's parents and their struggles. It has an incredible amount of historical fact in it, in that it includes many of the ancient traditions and attitudes of many cultures, without making it apparent. I truely recommend this book for anyone who likes fantasy but also likes some grounding in reality. |
For all those who have never heard of TERRY BROOKS, give your head a shake! (Just kidding) He is a very accomplished author and I truely enjoy his works. The first novel I had read of his was THE BLACK UNICORN which has a predisessor MAGIC KINGDOM FOR SALE, SOLD! and a sequel WIZARD AT LARGE. They are a wonderful series about the land of Landover. It is very imaginative and a truely enjoyable book. I found it very easy going and fun, I couldn't set any of them down and wished for the story to go on once I was done. | |
The series by J.R.R TOLKIEN is surely a classic and should be read by all. It is pure genius but a little hard to get into. THE LORD OF THE RINGS series I found especially great but the first book of his I had read was, THE HOBBIT. This sparked my imagination and I can assure you was extremely well written. | |
The most recent addition to my collection is a very beautiful book called, GOOD FAERIES BAD FAERIES by BRIAN FROUD. The illustrations are magnificant and the little explanations of each faerie are very interesting. I really recomend this book for it's art work and theories. |
