Well, there's also 'The Last Unicorn' by Peter S. Beagle. It has a very dreamy and ethereal quality to it. The story of the last unicorn's journey in a world that is changing and filled with magic is similar to the kind of magical exploration you might find in 'The Light Fantastic'. It was a beloved fantasy novel in the 80s and still has a strong following today.
Another one is 'Redwall' by Brian Jacques. While it may seem more aimed at a younger audience, it has a very detailed and immersive world - building aspect. The tales of the anthropomorphic animals in their abbey, with their battles and quests, share some of the charm and adventure that 'The Light Fantastic' might offer. It was quite popular in the 80s among those who liked fantasy stories with a bit of a different spin.
Maybe 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' could be considered somewhat similar. While it's more science - fiction - based, it has a really absurd and comical style. It takes you on a wild journey through the galaxy with a bunch of really strange characters and situations, much like how 'the light fantastic comic fantasy novels' might take you on a wild ride through a fantasy world.
One of the well - known 80s fantasy novels could be 'The Light Fantastic' by Terry Pratchett. It's part of his Discworld series. This novel is filled with his signature humor and unique world - building, with a mix of magical elements and interesting characters that made it a hit among fantasy fans in the 80s.
