I really like Guy Gavriel Kay's trilogy "The Fionavar Tapestry", which starts at the University of Toronto and travels to a world where figures from Camelot play a part. Sounds bizarre but if you aren't put off by something 'a little different' it's a good read. Kay is a Canadian and I believe worked on J.R.R. Tolkien's estate as an editor. (memory a little dim).
