I was watching Ep 17 again and at the end when Emma was looking at Henry’s story book and she goes to the pages about Jefferson and his daughter. It just really made me wonder about how much information is in the book. I mean does it say that the Hatter’s name is Jefferson? We know that is his real name. It did show that Jefferson had a daughter so part of the story that we saw was in there at least.
And later in Ep 18 Emma is looking through the book “grasping at straws” and they show the picture of Regina in front of her heart vault and of the huntsman with his knife raised. Does it say in the story book that the Evil Queen’s name is Regina? It is just that we know those two stories the characters have their real names so it makes me wonder if they match up with the book. We know that the book did say Emma’s name until Henry removed those pages. I just keep thinking that while it is a huge step to think that regular people are fairytale characters it just seems like such a big coincidence if all the names were in order. And i wonder if it shows where Snow meets Red and goes by the name Mary at first. Is that story in there?
Though Emma could think that Jefferson saw the book and that is why he called himself that and that is why he called Paige, Grace, because he had somehow seen the version that is in Henry’s book.
And there are other parts we have known were left out like all the book said about Hansel and Gretel’s father was that he abandoned them which we know is not true. He was taken by the Evil Queen so that she could get them to do what she asked. It just really makes me wonder what is going on in the book.
[adrotate group="5"]I wonder if it is possible for the book to change as the real life Charectors in StoryBrook change? Is it possible for the book itself to be magic and the keeper of the curse or something? Great question…I would also like to know how August could add pages so easily…
I really want to take a good look at that book and see exactly what it is that the characters see when they look at it. What was it that caused Henry to connect the dots?

It’d be a wonderful twist if the book itself is enchanted and able to change course as the characters change in SB. I wonder if Emma being there impacts the characters’ destiny in FTL as well as SB.

All I know for sure about that book is that whenever the show finally ends, and all the stories in it have been told, if they publish a replica of it, that baby will sell like hotcakes.
Seriously though, if their names are in there, then that’d be a dead giveaway. Evil Queen and Mad Hatter can’t have been called those names in the book if the stories before they assumed those personas are in the book, which they obviously are because we’ve seen pics of Jefferson and his daughter, and of young Snow.
If the book is meant to be a tool for Emma to believe, then it wouldn’t really make sense for there to be fake names in there. But if the name Jefferson IS in there, then Emma’s more stubborn than we thought, coz she’s seen: Mad Hatter’s story, pics of him and his daughter that resemble Storybrooke people, his name (which isn’t exactly common), AND she got a look at his lovely neck scar too. Conclusive evidence much? Not all of that can be explained away as coincidence.
Kinda like the idea of the book itself being magical, but I think if the book were able to course correct and re-write itself, then August wouldn’t have had to do anything to it. And it also wouldn’t work with my theory that there’s no NEW magic in Storybrooke, only existing, stored magic that transfered over, like Graham’s heart. Unless the book came from FTL, and not from our world, so any magic in it originally could still be there. Hmmmm.
I would love to get a copy of the book when the shows over with versions of all the stories as they go in the show. That would be awesome.
I have been wondering about the book. I wonder how far it goes back. It seems like that the times we have seen the stories in the book have all been from very near the curse. Such as in the life of Snow White. So is the book really just about Snow White and Regina and their fight? Even the Hatter’s story had Regina in it. It is just the stories that go far back like Rumpel or Jiminy, Henry has never been shown seeing pages from those stories in the book. I think the page the farthest back we have seen is of Snow White as a child.
I just assumed that all the stories we’ve seen so far in FTL are all stories contained in the book. Just because we haven’t seen those particular pages from Henry’s book doesn’t mean they’re absent. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

We presume that we’ve only been shown one copy of the book thus far. It’s possible that August was not repairing that one copy, but rather producing a new one with the “Emma pages” restored. The book does not appear to be produced by scribes handiwork. It appears printed which suggests there are many copies. August may have read this book cover to cover in Kansas. Jefferson might have a copy at his mansion in SB. We know MM had a copy to give to Henry. Archie and Emma have both been exposed to Henry’s valuing the book to the point of wanting their own copy eventually. Kathryn could use a copy to clear up her confused state of mind now that’s she’s returned. There’s lots of ways for the plot of OUAT to move forward with several copies of the book.
That is very true slurpeez. It is just we also know that the book is not completely right. Like it said that Hansel and Gretel’s father abandoned them when we know that he was kidnapped by the Queen. That makes me think that the book is from someone’s perspective and we have only seen pages from the stories surrounding the Snow White and the Evil Queen story. There has also been a theory floating around that maybe Rumpel isn’t in the book since Henry can’t seem to figure out who he is and you would think it would be pretty obvious if Rumpel was in there who Gold is, but maybe not Henry is a kid.
Though you are completely right that none of that is proof. It is just a theory.
