The Story Book

[hjbau]

Does anyone know what this page from the book is from? What story it is? This is the best screencap i have of it, so if anyone has a better one that would be awesome.

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.

I do believe the book contains magic. I think August whoever he is his job is guardian or keeper of the book. After the pages were ripped out and then it appeared lost there seemed to be a change in Storybrooke in terms of “magic”. After August did what he did to it then taking Emma to the well next to what appears to be a version of an enchanted tree and drank the well water; the book ultimately was returned to Henry. The magical feeling in Storybrooke seemed to change or at the vibes in town. There is a connection; the book, August, Henry and Emma, to the well, that tree, the water in the well and that typewriter which that have purposely keep put of sight which is striking plenty of curiosity.

I wonder why it always seems to be the same few stories on every page. Is the book changing? Or are we just not supposed to notice that?

hjbau, I can’t read the caption to the picture you posted (the caption in the book), but the picture looks to me like Snow and Charming on their wedding day. I could be wrong though; it’s been a long time since I’ve seen the pilot episode. 🙂

This is the shot from their wedding. I think that is from some other story. I just wondered what it was because we know that Wonderland came into the story and now Oz and those were ones we saw in the book. I just wondered if we would see this one too.

Just went to the ep to see if I could get a better look at the writing..
The king became very angry at _______ and ordered the gardener to keep watch all night under ____ ____.
Last two words might be “the moon” perhaps, it’d fit, but I can’t see them well enough to say for sure. And of course can’t make out the name, which is terribly inconvenient. LOL Looks like she’s a fairy though. She’s got wings.

Titania and Oberon are fairy Queen and King in Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream and they have an argument. Could that be it?

Found it! It’s from The Golden Bird.

The king became very angry at this, and ordered the gardener to keep watch all night under the tree.

You know, the way they always show this story, I’m beginning to think that August might be the fox of the story (a transformed prince, brother to the princess).

Well that’s interesting if the text is from a different story, because I just found the original of that illustration and its title is “The Meeting of Oberon and Titania”, by Arthur Rackham. You can see a big version of it here:

Oooo-k. So Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream and a line from The Golden Bird.
I have a new theorie. I think they use that story as a place holder text, like the Lorem Ipsum. Kitsis&Horowitz probably know the fans will take a close look at whatever they get their hands on, so they use the same story so as not to give anything away.

Not exactly 100% but Swan Princess. Swan Princess only because of the way the woman in white looks like. I googled pictures to check before posting this..it is how the princess looks after a transformation. Unfortunatelt I could not find a good enough piture to post but there are some that are comparable.
