we need more quiet, domestic (and literary) fantasy books and short stories. Like The Forgotten Beasts of Eld, Little, Big, The Cosmology of the Wider World, Winter Rose/Solstice Wood, The Wood Wife, Wind in the Willows, Tombs of Atuan, Tehanu, The Other Wind, etc
eg, less swords and more dealing with the human dynamics of living in a fantasy setting or portal world

Oh! And I guess Valente& #39;s older fantasy& #39;s definately fall into the mold as well! Like The Labyrinth, and Crass Cutting Sword, and other stuff in Myths of Origin
oh, and CSE Cooney& #39;s Desdemona and the Deep!
I& #39;m going to keep remembering books as the day goes along. I really hope I don& #39;t forget anyone

The Last Unicorn, but also A Fine and Private Place, and Giant Bones by Peter S. Beagle. As well as The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman
I& #39;m forgetting so much!
