Challenge Complete - 2012 Year of the Fantasy Classic

Objective:
To try and read some of the classic fantasy novels that I have just never gotten around to reading before. Check out my pre challenge post here!

Aim:
Read 12 Fantasy Novels that were published prior to my birth year (1981)

Result:
Well as with a lot of my 2012 challenges I finished the final book in December which means I was cutting it close!

I've read-

Peter Pan J.M. Barrie	The Last Unicorn Peter S. Beagle
The Wind in the Willows Kenneth Grahame	Watership Down Richard Adams
The Princess Bride William Goldman	The Dragon and The George Gordon R. Dickson
The Broken Sword Poul Anderson	The Wonderful Wizard of Oz L. Frank Baum
A Wizard of Earthsea Ursula K Le Guin	Over Sea, Under Stone Susan Cooper
The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe C.S. Lewis	Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Lewis Carroll

As you can see I really have picked books from a wide period of time, from 1865 to 1976. They were all very different from each other and whilst I found some of them to be only average, others I loved. My favourite had to be Watership Down which funnily enough was the one I wasn't sure I would even like.

Summary:
I am happy that I have finally read some true classics of the genre as I always felt that perhaps I was missing out by not reading them.
