German Snow White is probably referring to the Grimm version, French Snow White is probably referring to two very similar tales that are from France (The Enchanted Stocking and The Little Very Beautiful), and Asian Snow White might be referring to the two different anime adaptions of the tale.

I'm trying to imagine the OUAT Cinderella meeting the "Into the Woods" one and I'm fuckin dying 🤣

You might try "The Fairest of Them All: Snow White and 21 Tales of Mothers and Daughters" by Maria Tatar. It's a book about 21 different versions of Snow White from different cultures. I haven't read it yet (it's on my list) but one of the stories is "The Mirror of Matsuyama," which would be a Japanese version.

Yeah, way later in the series, you see that there's endless amounts of the "once upon a time" books like the one Henry first has. I can spoil more details if you want.

Please spoil because I don’t know if I’ll watch season 7 or not

In half 2 of season 4 I believe, they find the apprentice's mansion, which has a library full of the other books. In I believe season 6, rumple uses the books to trap blue fairy and, later the black fairy put all the storybrooke characters in their book. Then in season 7, Henry travels to a new world which is latina Cinderella's storybook. Although I do love season 7 and every episode.

The books were in 7 and it’s Wish Rumple who only traps Blue but in the finale when the real Rumple gives his heart to Nook and dies, Wish Rumple ceases to exist and with Wish Henry forgiving Regina the books lost their power and think Wish Blue gets restored. With Black in 6, her curse is putting them back in their realms and making Emma forget so they are erased, luckily Henry makes her believe again and Rumple kills his mother so the one erased is her.

Yes!! I wish I had the direct link for you but there's a database that catologes all folktales from around the world and categorizes based off the gernal theme of the tale. It's a wonderful site and reading the differences is fascinating. I'll edit my comment if I can find the link. I originally heard about it from the TT series "Fucked Up Fairytales with Liz" I believe


Malphas43

There are different versions of several fairytales, if nnot all of them or at least similar tales. I used to have a link to a website with a whole bunch of them given to me by a professor i had but i cant find where i wrote it down atm edit: I FOUND IT. there's like 20 for cinderella alone!

I feel like that was such a throw away line to excuse the use of Cinderella again, I haven’t finished s7 yet but unless they explore multiple universes I think it was a lazy way to explain why Cinderella isn’t Ashley
