Also, I'd recommend Neil Gaiman. Most of his stories feature folklore from all across the planet. American Gods has Egyptian deities and Anansi Boys is African folklore. The Ocean east the End of the Lane is a grown-up fairytale; I can't recommend this one enough.
Happy reading!

If you haven't read the "Mortal Instruments" series by Cassandra Claire, you might enjoy that as well.

Tooth and Claw (Written in the style of a Victorian romance - but the characters are DRAGONS)
Among Others (A young girl's coming of age story as she learns to accept her ability to do magic)
and
Connie Willis's:
Doomsday Book (What if you could travel back in time - and due to a technical error ended up in 1348 - the time of the Black Plague?)
Lincoln's Dreams (A young woman with vivid disturbing dreams is being treated for psychiatric problems until a historical researcher realizes that she is actually reliving the Civil War through the dreams of General Lee.)

Only the first part in the trilogy is released so far. But I found it very well written. The fantasy world is so beautiful and the book centers around TROLLS (yes, you heard it right!). This is definitely a unique spin on fantasy. So far we have forever seen trolls as despicable ugly creatures and always as villians. But in this series, trolls are the main characters (even the hero is an troll) but of course the heroine is an human. I will not give away anything more yet. But I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did

you should check out the white rabbit chronicles.
she takes zombies and turns them in to a spirt form that only a selct few people can see and fight.
also "the midnighters trilogy" has some really cool themes in it and crazy monsters (and a form of witch craft)
and "Abarat" has the most original characters and worlds you will ever read about.

Which reminds me, the third book came out fairly recently, I believe. I need to get my hands on it.
