Bonus points for any books you believe are classics from that time period. Any language, but only fiction please.

I'm really excited to see what Lemmy has.

A few years off from your criteria, but Ursula K. Le Guin released A Wizard of Earthsea in 1968. However, she had been pretty prominent in science fiction for the decade.

Important enough to inspire Pratchett and Miyazaki (of Studio Ghibli).

She's a hugely influential writer.

She used to teach writing courses at the university where I work. According to some of the old IT hands, whenever she came in with computer problems she was a delight to work with.

Any source on her influence on Miyazaki? My searches only return articles about the Earthsea adaptation fiasco.
