Welcome to the rich worlds of Fantasy

Fantasy Fiction

Fantasy fiction takes place in worlds that allow for magic; usually these seem to be long ago and far away, but can also take place in worlds very much like our own. Magic is a defining element, whether in humans or animals or objects, and carries its own laws that characters will react to. 

Here you will find sub-genres of fantasy, well-known authors, fantasy awards and classic tales.   

Sub-genres of Fantasy

There are many different types of fantasy, from Middle-earth to Underhill to right next door. Visit these subgenres to find out more.
