Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials

I greatly enjoyed reading Kenneth Oppel's Silverwing series to my children as well as Brian Jacque's Redwall series. And of course Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. No, I did not read the Narnia books to them; I can't stomach Lewis. (I'm with Tolkien on that one.)

For earlier fantasy that influenced Tolkien I've read William Morris' fantasies and George MacDonald's as well.
