List of fantasy novels (A–H)

This article lists notable fantasy novels (and novel series).^[1][2] The books appear in alphabetical order by title (beginning with A to H) (ignoring "A", "An", and "The"); series are alphabetical by author-designated name or, if there is no such, some reasonable designation. Science-fiction novels and short-story collections are not included here.
