Would you class E.L. Konigsburg's Jennifer, Hecate, Macbeth, William McKinley, and Me, Elizabeth with these?
My mother actually wrote one book with magic where the editor got her to rewrite it with the magic not being real. I liked the first version better when I was a kid, but I now think the second turned out better (because the editor was right about the magic not being really integral to the story, and also because the rewrite meant she polished it more).
