Hum...I love Sarah Addison Allen and Alice Hoffman.<br /><br />Hummmm I need to go away and try and think of some Domythic mythic fiction now. There is one that I'm thinking of which has a witch in and the other witches didn't like her or were scared of her. I remember she had a really nice house but I can't remember who it's by or what it's called, which doesn't help really. :-)<br /><br />Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15735558562227554417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2215903909566320990.post-34214721436884941892013-06-05T18:52:26.169-04:002013-06-05T18:52:26.169-04:00The Enchantment Emporium by Tanya Huff--huge famil...The Enchantment Emporium by Tanya Huff--huge family of magical women, complete with innumerable aunts. Protagonist moves out of family home to run inherited magical junk shop. Very entertaining.<br /><br />Sunshine by Robin McKinley--do not be put off by vampires. Mostly domythic because of copious baking. Sunshine is hilariously down to earth. Also both McKinley's re-tellings of Beauty and the Beast, but mostly the second. Because roses.<br /><br />Diana Wynne Jones: Howl's Moving Castle trilogy, because...moving castle. Made of chimney pots. Powered by a fire demon. The third book introduces another magical house, too. Conrad's Fate because magical house, complete with Upstairs, Downstairs like social dynamics. <br /><br />I'm sure I'll think of more...all my books are packed right now, so I can't look them over.elzebrookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15400313629226584373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2215903909566320990.post-20243115365647284382013-06-05T11:49:54.679-04:002013-06-05T11:49:54.679-04:00Love this post!

The first book I thought of is Thornyhold by Mary Stewart (http://www.amazon.com/Thornyhold-Rediscovered-Classics-Mary-Stewart/dp/1556527934) - a completely lovely, quietly magical book with a witchy house that's incredibly domythically inspiring! I also found Catherynne M. Valente's Orphan's Tale duology and The Wood Wife by Terri Windling quite domythic in setting :).Brittanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02143394027881156886noreply@blogger.com
