Wizards, wonder, wisdom...These words appear over and over in children's fantasy
stories. As promised, below is a follow-up list to our top 10 best literary fantasy worlds for grown-ups posted last week. Joy and fear play central roles in all of these worlds (who can forget Pinocchio's terrifying transformation into a donkey in Play Town?), as do speaking animals: the Chesire Cat in Wonderland, snakes in Hogwarts and lions in both Narnia and Oz. Perhaps it's time to blow the dust off of the cover of your favorite children's book, or discover a new one! What classic or contemporary fantasy worlds did we leave off this list?
