C S Lewis recommends

Phantastes: A Faerie Romance for men and Women (1853) George MacDonald "[His writing] hovers between the allegroical and the mythopoeic."	The Wood Beyond the World (1894) William Morris "No mountains in literature are as far away as the distant mountains of Morris."	The Worm Ouroboros (1922) E R Eddison "It is very rarely that a middle-aged man finds an author who gives him the sense of having opened a door on wonder. One had thought those days were past. Eddison's heroic romances disproved it. In a word, his books are works, first and foremost, of art."
Childhood's End (1953) Arthur C Clarke "There has been nothing like it for years...an author who understands there may be things that have a higher claim on humanity than its own 'survival'."	The Maiden's Bequest, the Minister's Restoration, the Laird's Inheritance: Three Novels in One Volume (1998) George MacDonald "My master."
