I third Sylvie and Bruno. It's a very good book. Didn't imagine it as Fantasy at first.

We just need one more nod for Green Rider. It's available via Overdrive and even if you cannot get it there, it's only $2.99.

Sylvie and Bruno is also available for free in audio from USF's Lit2Go HERE. Lit2Go's audio is better than any of the librivox versions IMO.

I will second Swords and Deviltry, I have never read anything by Fritz Lieber but I have heard good things about Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser.
I will third Green Rider, never heard of it but sounds fun. And I will second The Magic City, again, I have heard of Nesbit but haven't read anything by her before. |

I'd like to nominate "The King of Elfland's Daughter by Lord Dunsany.
This has been on my TBR list a while. Reviews on Amazon are admittedly mixed, but it does seem to have some historically significant literary value. From Amazon: Quote:

Is the print length in the first post for Sylvie and Bruno correct? Amazon says it is much shorter?

Looks about right for the complete version -- actually includes two books, Sylvie and Bruno and Sylvie and Bruno Concluded.
However, note that the link in that first post to the PCML ePub version appears broken. Instead, use this: Sylvie and Bruno Complete. |

It's possible the long print length as with the large file size is due to the illustrations. |

We'll need to add the second Lit2Go audiobook link in that case. Sylvie and Bruno Concluded.

Swords and Deviltry, The Magic City and The King of Elfland's Daughter each needs one more nomination to make it to the poll.
