Agreed on Watership Down-- it might be marginally fantasy because there's a small amount of ESP.

And also agreed about Zenna Henderson.

More on the fantasy front-- McKillip's The Riddlemaster of Hed. I'd say the first book is much better than the sequels, but the sequels still have some good stuff in them.

Ferrett Steinmetz's "Saurkraut Station" is excellent YA science fiction.

The McKillip is fantastic. I enjoyed that plenty as an adult as well!
