To the best of my understanding, Hargreaves calls his creations "storybooks", which is neither here nor there.

I'm starting to think that OS25 is onto something. Just look at the otherwise perfect correspondence between prefixes and dab terms: There is only one prefix with two dab terms: PROSE is either (novel) or (short story).
 * TV is for (TV story),
 * AUDIO is for (audio story), including short stories read by one actor,
 * COMIC is for (comic story), including originally published graphic novels, even though there is a separate (graphic novel) for reprints
 * HOMEVID is for (home video)
 * GAME is for (video game)

This distinction was created before my time. Does anybody remember the rationale?
