Desert Island Fantasy Books

A few weeks ago,  Risus Monkey posted the "10 Works of Fantasy Literature to have on a Deserted Island" meme. I thought it would be an easy post to knock out in an hour or so, but choosing only 10 books is quite difficult and I've spent more time than I should have swapping things in and out. Some were very easy to pick, but after the first few I had a very hard time deciding how to fill out the list.

So, in no particular order, here are the 10 books, limited to 1 volume per author (I did include a few omnibus volumes), that I would want to have with me if I was deserted on an island:

• The Annotated Alice: The Definitive Edition-Louis Carroll
• contains both Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass
• H. P. Lovecraft: Tales (Library of America)-H.P. Lovecraft
  
• Bradbury Stories: 100 of His Most Celebrated Tales-Ray Bradbury 
• Very difficult to choose between this and Dandelion Wine
• The Annotated Hobbit-J.R.R. Tolkien 
• Yes, The Hobbit, not LotR. A tough call, but I enjoy The Hobbit more.
• The Anubis Gates-Tim Powers
• The Phantom Tollbooth-Norton Juster
• The Complete Chronicles of Conan-Robert E. Howard
• All the Conan stories by REH, in order of publication
• Bone: The One Volume Edition-Jeff Smith
• Face In The Frost-John Bellairs
• The Chronicles of Narnia (one volume omnibus)-C.S. Lewis
