Jane Yolen recommends
 The Gods of Pegana (1905) Lord Dunsany "Lord Dunsany is the great grandfather of us all." |  A College of Magics (1994) (College of Magics, book 1) Caroline Stevermer "A large step up ... from Harry Potter." |  Song in the Silence: The Tale of Lanen Kaelar (1996) (Song in the Silence, book 1) Elizabeth Kerner "Elizabeth Kerner has a strong new voice that has the cadences and resonance of an old and wise bard." | |
 The Fox Woman (1999) (Fox Woman, book 1) Kij Johnson "If you are a smash-and-grab, blood-on-the-sword fantasy reader, this astonishingly lyrical first novel about a medieval Japanese shapeshifter is not for you. But if you want lush prose, romantic settings, and a poetry-of-the-soul book, run-do not walk-to get this. God, I wish I had written it!" |  The Freedom Maze (2001) Delia Sherman "A bold and sensitively-written novel about a supposed-white child, Sophie Fairchild returned magically to a time of her ancestors who were slavemaster and slaves in the old South. I was mesmerized." |
