You might try going the classics route. *The Iliad, The Odyssey,* and *The Epic of Gilgamesh* have all been translated into poetic form. There's always *Beowulf*, translated by many (my personal favorite is the Seamus Heaney, although Tolkien's isn't bad either). Also, Edmund Spenser's *The Faerie Queene*. As well as *Sir Gawain and the Green Knight*. Not quite "fantasy" in the way we describe it now. But definitely still fantasy! *Toni Lea Isom (they/them/theirs)* Youth Services Librarian Assistant Adrian District Library 143 East Maumee Street Adrian MI 49221 tisom@adrian.lib.mi.us On Wed, Oct 2, 2024 at 2:34 PM Emma Clemons via Michlib-l < michlib-l@mcls.org> wrote:
Hello Hive Mind!
I had a teen ask me today for fantasy novels in verse. I could only think of realistic fiction in verse so I was stumped! Does anyone know of any, have any recommendations for Fantasy Novels in Verse?
