Does anyone know of an earlier example of the trope of having a magic box choose your class in a novel?

- kouru225 3y agoOo good question. I guess you could arguably say Plato’s Republic touches on this, but its not the same. Makes me think there must be earlier examples of this though.
- zem 3y agono magic box, but your comment made me think of this father brown short story: https://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0201021h.html#story4 https://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0201021h.html#story4
