It used to be that if a fantasy was an adult fantasy it was questioned that it was a real fantasy. Well, adult fantasy has become popular enough now that I see that it is now questioned whether it is a fantasy if it is for children. Fifty years ago or even a lot more recently it would have never been a question. Of course, it is a fantasy.

Any thoughts about how to classify a book as to type if it is a child's fairy tale? It's obviously a children's book, and it's literature and fiction, but would you consider a fairy tale, like Little Red Riding Hood, a fantasy novel as well?
