Sure, Poul Anderson's The Broken Sword. It's got elves fighting trolls in IRL northern Europe, but the elves are freakishly alien in their psychology and shudder at the sight of the cross, and the trolls are mysterious magical Finnish brutes. He cleaves closer to the sagas than Tolkien did and creates something incredibly refreshing to our jaded modern eyes.

Actually, has anyone done bird-men? I'd love to see that done well.
