First Fantasy Experience

[Araris Valerian he/him]

I was wondering what the first fantasy book/series people have read that really got them into the genre. It could be as a child or something later in life that really drew your interest. I myself, being a young whippersnapper, got into fantasy around 10 years ago through the Redwall series by Brian Jacques. Basically, for those that haven't read it, the series is based around an abbey that is occupied by various animals, mostly rodents, that have to overcome various armies of rats, ferrets, foxes and the like that try and invade. There are also riddles, adventure and humor aplenty, and while they are targeted toward a younger audience, I still have fun going back and re-reading one or two every once and a while.

Edit: Well, I guess I must be blind or something. The other thread about this is at the top of the page. Ignore my rambling and move on.
