Hi fellow travelers!
This video was partially inspired by our book discussion about types of fantasy worldbuilding. If you’re one of the commenters who expressed a love of classic-style fantasy stories, this video is for you!
No full transcript today—with the length and format of this video, a transcript just wouldn’t make a lot of sense.
However, if you’re not sure you’re in a video-viewing mood today, please enjoy these perfectly-posed stills of me with each of the books I’m recommending today. And if these don’t make you want to watch the full video, I don’t know what will.
One important note I made in the video is that I’ve arranged these ten recommendations vaguely in order of youngest audience to oldest audience, meaning that the later books on the list may not be appropriate for readers of all ages. If you’d like specific content warnings for any of these books, let me know!
After you check out my recommendations, let me know what medieval fantasy books YOU recommend!
Medallion
The Two Princesses of Bamarre
A Wizard of Earthsea
The Goose Girl
The Last Unicorn
I’m Afraid You’ve Got Dragons
The Weeping Knight
The Eye of the World
Assassin’s Apprentice
The Sum of All Men
And here are the links I mentioned in the video:
Thank you for journeying with me! (Especially through an absurdly long video and an avalanche of images.)
