I hear The House At Pooh Corner is awfully nice.
My absolute favorite:
Robert's Grave The white goddess from which I learn about Taliesin which in turn made me name my programming language Gwion.
I'd also advice reading Mircea Eliade Aspects du mythe (sorry I can't find it's name in english).
Anything by Selma Lagerlof.
Also look at the eerie similarities beetwen Eliade's Thirteen roses and Orhan Pamuk's Snow.
