I think you are right too. I mean things like Hansel and Gretel’s dad did not abandon them. That is incorrect. Ever since that, the content of the book is suspect. And we know that Ella said she lied to Thomas and told him that it was her fairy godmother that helped her go to the ball. So it is possible that is the known story and that that is what is in the book and Rumpel’s involvement is left out. Who knows exactly.
