Are there any older fantasy series similar to “The Wizard of Oz” or “Alice in Wonderland”? I really enjoy the way these stories are presented (talking animals, magic, other worlds, etc). I also like how they have illustrations throughout the books. I would prefer a series rather than a stand alone book.
Thank you!

The Wizard of Oz is just one of several books that Frank Baum wrote about Oz. Wikipedia says 14 books total.
There is a second Alice book, called Alice Through the Looking-Glass.
For a much newer book, you would probably enjoy Impossible Creature by Katherine Randell. Lots of illustrations.
The Magician’s Nephew by CS Lewis, and the rest of the Chronicles of Narnia.
For animals, I would recommend Brian Jacques’s Redwall series.
For magic, I would recommend Diana Wynne Jones’s Chrestomanci series and the Howl’s Moving Castle series. You may also like Terry Pratchett’s Tiffany Aching books.
