We know the majority of Season 1’s characterers are in Henry’s book with perhaps the exception of Rumplestiltskin who may have just been mentioned in passing in Snow and Charming’s story (when they visited him in his cell in the mine).
Henry seemed read the book pretty regularly and yet couldn’t figure out who Mr Gold was supposed to be which suggests that Rumple’s story isn’t really in the book.
If Rumple’s story is not in the book, does that mean that Belle’s story is not in the book either since it featured Rumple.
What about Hook’s story or does it just feature his time in Neverland?
What about Regina’s story beyond her interactions in Snow White’s and the huntsman’s story?
Are Mulan and Aurora featured in the book at all?

That’s something I never thought about before. If Belle is there and the book turns out to be written by someone with a certain point of view, I would not be surprised if Rumpel is referred to as the beast and nothing more. As for Belle, the book could say that the beast released her from the castle and she was captured by the Queen and nothing else.

Since Hook’s story happens before the curse, he’s probably in there. I’m not sure about Neverland though.

Since Mulan and Aurora’s story happens in Present Day FT world, in real time as our world and the book is in Storybrooke, I don’t think their stories would be in Henry’s book. Now, what would be interesting if stories started magically appearing in Henry’s book since time is moving forward in FT land.
Maybe Mulan and Aurora’s backstories are in the book, since they happened pre-curse. When we meet them, Mulan’s already a soldier, which means that her story of joining the army as a man could still be there. As for Aurora, her timeline is weird in the show, so I’m not even going to go there.
Imagine the other stories that could be in the book though – all those other worlds in Jefferson’s hat. Maybe those stories are there too.
The sleeping part of Aurora’s curse could be in the book assuming that happened the year before the curse. I forgot about that.
Mulan could be there as well since most stories tend to overlap in the timeline.
Maybe the story of Aurora’s mother is in the book. She said that her mother had to sacrifice herself as well. I don’t know if that means that she also was under the sleeping curse or something else, it sounded like Maleficent was also involved.
In The Thing You Love Most, Regina says that Maleficent has already been bested by “that Sleeping Beauty”, which probably refers to Aurora’s mother. So maybe Aurora’s mum was the Sleeping Beauty of the traditional tale, and Maleficent cast the same spell on her daughter before Regina’s curse came, as a final revenge. That’d explain how this world knows about the story.
This is very interesting hadn’t really crossed my mind before… yes the stories in henrys book are told from a certain point of view. Whos point of view?
It must be that the stories in the book are told in the original way in which we also know all the old fairytales. Set after all the rules. So they are told in the way a certain person want them to take place. Like a recipe. This is making me think you can compare them to a curse, a curse is also ‘written’ they talk about how Regina wrote stuff in to the curse in order to make it act the way she wanted it. And when she breaks Maleficents glass globe we see that it is written on a scroll of paper. Maybe the book is a “curse” that “someone” wrote in order to make all those things happen that way… Then the question is who needed these stories to take place the way that they did? Could be Rumple, I don’t remember if there is any of his story in there, cause that would speak against it I think.
And then maybe this is also connected to the library being closed up. Its under the town clock right? I think this is important somehow. Its where the Beast/the dragon is kept hidden under ground… something very secretive going on there…
This is also interesting if you believe that August Wayne Booth is a reference to the real life author Wayne C Booth who wrote something about what he calls the ‘implied author’ which differentiates between the actual author and the person the reader believes in, or something like that. Again it has to do with point of view and which perspective you have.

Kind of a side remark. But this has gotten my mind racing right now.
What Henry and the other characters sees written in the book, is not the same as what we see.. when ever there is a bit of texst that we as viewers can read its from either of the two farytales ‘the golden bird’-‘snow white and rose red’ or am I wrong ?
If it is so. Then why ? could be just a little twist for us to be confused, or not really have eny special meaning. Or it could also have to do with perception/perspective. The characters read those fairytales but that is not what it is actually all about. Im rambling here- sorry 😳
just some thoughts not put together right 😆
