Another classified as fantasy, and perhaps a bit more logically so, but still more like skewed historical fiction is Jonathon Strange and Mr Norrell, Susanna Clarke. Gaiman said it was imposs to praise it too highly and in mho I agree. Its fat tho' and some might find it slow moving...
i'm beginning to think parallel history is my favorite genre. Be great to hear of some more...
Other great, I think, fantasy is His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman. Audible had a wonderful recording: Pullman as the narrator and full cast, unabridged. Their recording of Strange and Norrell is excellent too, as is their Baroque Cycle.
