Haven't read it but I'm happy to take it as a counter example. I was thinking of ways to group fantasies for the kids in my class and realised I couldn't come up with any which didn't have some form of magic in them.

Interesting. That in some ways mimics the categories we came up with and in some ways not (mainly because the display is for a different purpose and a very different audience than the book, I think).
