Alice follows a hurried white rabbit underground and lands in a world where every rule of logic bends. The complete 1865 novel, with the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter and the Queen of Hearts.
A cyclone drops Dorothy in a land of talking scarecrows, tin men and cowardly lions. The full text of the 1900 novel that opened the Oz series, following the road to the Emerald City.
A carved puppet runs away from home and learns the hard way what it costs to become a real boy. The complete novel, darker and stranger than the versions most readers know.
Alice steps through a mirror into a country laid out like a chessboard, where she must cross the squares to become a queen. Carroll's 1871 sequel, with Humpty Dumpty and the Jabberwocky.
Dorothy is swept overboard in a storm and washes up on a coast ruled by a scheming Nome King. The third Oz novel, where she meets Ozma and the clockwork man Tik-Tok.
A war between the lords of Demonland and the king of Witchland, told in deliberately archaic prose across nearly 500 pages. One of the first complete secondary worlds in English, and a direct ancestor of modern epic fantasy.
The Darling children fly out of the nursery window to Neverland with a boy who refuses to grow up. Barrie's own novel version of the story, with the Lost Boys, the mermaids and Captain Hook.
The whole cycle of Arthurian legend in one volume: the sword in the stone, the Round Table, Lancelot and Guinevere, the Grail quest and the fall of Camelot. All 21 books, complete.
Five siblings dig up a bad tempered sand fairy who grants one wish a day, and every wish goes wrong before sunset. The 1902 comedy of magic that set the template for modern children's fantasy.
A journey to a planet where the traveller grows new senses and new organs in each landscape he crosses. A strange, uncompromising novel of philosophical fantasy that reads like nothing else in the genre.
A nineteenth century engineer wakes up in Camelot and sets about industrialising it. Twain's satire of chivalry and progress, and one of the earliest novels of time displacement.
Three spirits walk a miser through his own past, present and future in the course of one night. The complete 1843 story of Scrooge, Marley and the Cratchits.
A manuscript found in an Irish ruin tells of a lonely house besieged by swine creatures, and of a vision that carries its owner to the death of the sun. A cornerstone of weird fantasy and one of the most read titles of its period.
A young man wakes to find his bedroom turning into a forest, and spends a year wandering Fairy Land. The 1858 novel that invented modern fantasy and that C. S. Lewis said changed his life.
A man follows a raven through a mirror into a country of sleepers, shadows and a woman who refuses to die. MacDonald's last and strangest novel, a visionary fantasy about death and renewal.
The people of Erl demand a magic ruler, so their lord's son crosses the frontier into Elfland to win the king's daughter. Dunsany's only full length fantasy novel, written in prose that reads close to poetry.
The same five children find a phoenix egg and a wishing carpet, and travel a great deal further than their parents would allow. The complete sequel to Five Children and It.
