There are many works in the Fantasy genre, but what's your personal favorite?, and if so, why?

Did I just add a "Greengrocers' 'S'" to The Brothers Grimm? I think I may have. Oops. :)

I have quite a few, but at the top of the list are:-

Terry Pratchett - Witches Abroad: It makes me laugh out loud every time I read it. I must have read it at least ten times by now, but somehow it's so well observed that it never gets old.

Rowling - For conjuring up a believable school which children actually want to attend.

Jill Murphy - For achieving the same with "The Worst Witch" children's series.

Roald Dahl - For conjuring up some truly wicked adult characters and making Giant Country feel so realistic.

The Brother's Grimm - For some truly diabolical and lovable fairytales.

Anything by Terry Pratchett, everything he writes is cleverly written and so funny I laugh out loud even when I'm in public!
