Agree w/ PhishStyx and Wayspooled on Charles de Lint --- esp. look at the Ace Fairy Tales books. _Briar Rose_ is an amazingly good book which makes the world a better place.
Susan Cooper's _The Dark is Rising_ pentalogy is another such book.
Aaron Allston's _Doc Sidhe_ is a lot of fun and an interesting twist on urban fantasy.
Ryk E. Spoor's _Digital Knight_ is also a lot of fun (though I wish he weren't so expansive in the backstory which I find set implausibly far back in time)
--- these latter two are available for free on-line in Baen's Free Library if memory serves.
