Fantasy Books
Getting lost in the magical world of fantasy books can be a sweet escape from reality. Our boundless imaginations are put to work as we form vivid mind-pictures of fictional realms, enchanting characters, and special powers. The intertwining elements of realism draw us naturally into understanding worlds that are completely different from our own. It’s like we’ve really been to and experienced the beautiful complexities of Lewis Carroll's Wonderland, L. Frank Baum's Oz, J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-Earth, and C. S. Lewis' Narnia.
Let the selection of modern and vintage fantasy books from AbeBooks sellers take you on fanciful journeys. Aside from modern fantasy from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, you'll also find folklore, epic poetry, classical mythology, fairy tales, and other ancient and traditional forms of fantastical stories. Fantasy books for children not only give life to a child's curiosity and imagination but are also rich with moral lessons. Fantasy for young adults, such as sagas by J.K. Rowling, Neil Gaiman, and Stephenie Meyer have significantly influenced popular culture with their bestseller novels that let readers explore different themes from magic and adventure to romance and dark elements.
We've all had a fair share of unforgettable tales that were part of our childhoods, but the vast forms of fantasy stories don't just cater to children and kids at heart. Explore great empires in contemporary adult fantasy book series by George R.R. Martin, Brandon Sanderson, and Patrick Rothfuss to keep your fantastic flame burning. Celebrate the legacy of classic, sought-after titles by selecting rare, collectible first-edition fantasy books that you can treasure for life. The power of fantasy stories by extraordinarily imaginative authors never ceases to amaze readers of any age, and book lovers owe a big debt to fantasy writers for taking us into new worlds and letting us see our own world with fresh perspectives. Buy fantasy books and enter into the realms of creativity at its best.
