List of fantasy novels

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page lists a broad variety of fantasy novels (and novel series) --some old, some new; some famous, some obscure; some well-written, some ill-written--and so may be considered a representative slice of the field. The books appear in alphabetical order by title (ignoring "A", "An", and "The"); series are alphabetical by author-designated name or, if there is no such, some reasonable designation.
