Fantasy before the franchises: talking animals, fairy roads, and lands one wardrobe-door sideways from ours. These are the roots of the genre, all in the public domain — free in PDF and EPUB, or read online in any browser.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland bends logic like nobody since; The Wonderful Wizard of Oz opens American fantasy's first great world. For the genre's secret ancestor, try The King of Elfland's Daughter — Dunsany taught everyone who came after.
