_A Wizard of Earthsea_ is notable as one of the first fantasy novels which was not a direct copy-paste from LoTR, and which had a non-white protagonist --- it deserves to be on this list, and I don't see what else could replace it.

_A Wrinkle in Time_ arguably should be on an equivalent SF list.

_The Dark is Rising_ is a wonderful set of books, which again, pre-dated the urban fantasy craze, and which I would argue makes the world a better place when folks read it.

Another missing text would be Andre Norton's _Witchworld_ books.

A chronological arrangement would be interesting to find other missing texts, and to help make clear why certain books should be included.
