I don't even need endings where nobody dies! Fionavar was happy enough, for example.


How about Dracula?
Jane Austen?
Dickens?


Harry Potter?

Edit: Or Zola's Ladies' Paradise. Happy ending, I promise. Not fantasy, though.
Edit2: Oooh, or Vanity Fair. Funny, AND happy ending. For some, anyway.

I seem to remember Modesitt's Towers of the Sunset had a romance element and a happy ending. *NM* PhotoJim - 12/04/2011 05:23:39 PM 831 Views
The Queen of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner Darth_Katie - 12/04/2011 07:02:39 PM 1511 Views
Or Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, perhaps? Camilla - 12/04/2011 07:11:30 PM 1488 Views
I was gonna suggest JS & MN as well. And Christie generally cheers me up as well, true. *NM* Legolas - 12/04/2011 07:20:44 PM 880 Views
