Donaldson's Thomas Covenant books being some of the best fantasy speaks more to Sturgeon's Law, than any innate quality.
My suggestions:
- Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising pentalogy
- Jack Vance's Lyonesse trilogy
- Roger Zelazny's Amber decalogy
- Poul Anderson's _The Broken Sword_ and _The Merman's Children
If you're interested in sword and sorcery, Robert E. Howard and Michael Moorcock make for an interesting contrast, and if you haven't read them, you should read Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter books, as well as Tarzan and Pellucidar (available here in omnibus editions).
