I would recommend...
Barbara Hambly - Dog Wizard series
Tim Powers - specifically The Drawing of the Dark but many of his others as well. (Not all are fantasy, and some are almost impossible to categorise.)
Christopher Stasheff - Warlock of Gramarye series. Wizard in Rhyme series.
Orson Scott Card - Alvin Maker series
Katherine Kurtz - Deryni series
Ursula K LeGuin - Earthsea series
L Frank Baum (et al) - Oz series (Surprised no-one's mentioned it yet) :-)
Lynn Abbey - Thieves' World series
L E Modesitt Jr - Recluce series. Soprano Sorceress series.
Alan Dean Foster - Spellsinger series
Piers Anthony - Xanth series (But take them in small doses.)
Elizabeth A Lynn - Chronicles of Tornor series (Not for children)
L Sprague de Camp - Almost anything, but the Enchanter sereis is brilliant.
Patricia A McKillip - Riddlemaster of Hed series
Robert Silverberg - Majipoor Chronicles (A bit of an SF/Fantasy mix)
Manly Wade Wellman - Who Fears The Devil & John the Balladeer
Marion Zimmer Bradley - Darkover series (Not my favourite, but well-liked by many)
Mary Gentle - Grunts (*Highly* recommended! Definitely not for children.)
Forgot to include Neil Gaiman!
