    The Curse magically generated the book to ensure the break clause had a chance of success. It is rather strange how MM only noticed the book to give to Henry near the 28th year. Maybe the curse created it near this time and placed it in a location that MM might notice it.

    I’ve thought about this possiblity, too. It just seems strange we have no idea who gave MM the book.

    OMG. I was just watching “Beauty and the Beast – Enchanted Christmas”….
    I have another thing to add support to this theory. Belle did indeed write a book labled “Once Upon a Time”. It is read, and similarly bound as the one in the TV show. After reviewing all of these facts…I personally believe this is true.

    I really don’t think Bell did it. She wouldn’t have known enough of the stories.

    The only person I can think of who could do it would be the blue fairy, but the idea of it being written into the curse is neat. The only problume i have with that is the fact that it was Rumple who wrote the curse so he would have had to of written that in as well but there was no way he could know that there would be one person in town who wasn’t cursed and have it find its way to him.

    I agree with you. The BF is the only one who knows most all of the stories and does have help (the other fairies) to complete the book. The Belle being the author theory has been played out and there are more ways to debunk that theory than to support it. Then there is that comment the BF made after she told Geppetto to tell Charming and Snow of the wardrobe. She said, “I have final preparations to make” or something like that. It is not a smoking gun but it does bring to light more questions about what kind of preparations one can make when they are just waiting for a curse to come and send a baby to a wardrobe.

    I was just rewatching “the return” and am now convinced that the blue fairy remembered at least some of FTL. First off, she’s supposed to be the most powerful magic wielder (more powerful than Rumple) so a spell made by a couple lesser magicians might not work compleatly on her. Secondly, if you were listening to the conversation with August just before Gold shows up she tells him to “not do anything rash.” If what she told Rumple was what she really knew about August than i don’t understand why she would be saying that. Thirdly, you can tell by Henry’s school uniform that it is privet or religious based. It would not be out of place to have the “sisters” work there, thus giving her the perfect opportunity to slip the book into Henry’s path. And lastly, having a character that can use magic and pull strings like she could, be on the good side would serve to a nice balance to Regina (who we know to be evil) and Rumple (who is a little more ambiguous).

    True, i agree with you. The BF and Emma will bring balance to magic in SB.

    The sisters do not seem to be the teachers at the school. A lot of private schools just have regular people as teachers not necessarily nuns.

    True but the episode “Dreamy” proves that they have at least some connection to the school. They used it as a base for their fundraiser and they volentered at the same hospital as MM. Even if they didn’t interact with the students, BF had plenty of opportunity to give the book to MM or slip it into her things.

    That is either a huge coincidence or inspiration for the OUaT creators/writers.

    Disney owns the network that makes OUAT and that gives them a lot of legal leeway to put in little details that are nods to the Disney stuff (just look at the entirety of “skin deep” for examples). That does not mean that the Disney stuff should be considered a prequel or sequel to the way the stories play out in OUAT.

    I understand how cool it is to notice little things like that, but you have to realize that OUAT changes more than it keeps when it comes to the Disney stuff. You can’t see one little detail in one and take it as proof that something is the case in the other. As interesting as Bell writing the book in OUAT would be, the evidence points otherwise.
