Off the top of my head: Tolkein, C.S. Lewis, Pratchett, Alan Garner, Mercedes Lackey, Tamora Pierce, Diana Wynne Jones, Tad Williams, David Eddings, Alan Dean Foster, George McDonald's Lilith, Helen Cresswell's Moondial ...
I read Eddings out of order, and went off him fairly rapidly once I read the bit about Polgara feeling "fulfilled" by cooking and then worked out that I didn't actually like the portrayal of any of his women. I didn't discover Anne McCaffrey until I was about 18, so haven't read very many.
