Highly recommended not just for dedicated fans of the show but for new fans as well.Īll you have to do is BELIEVE in the magic!Īll her life Emma had been a skeptic. Seriously I recommend buying the book just for that alone. Not just for her sake but Kathryn's as well.Īlso Mary Margaret's musings about Dr Whale were priceless. It also reminded me of how annoying David was when he was cursed (I'm so glad the curse was broken and he returned to 'normal') and also how hard Mary Margaret really did try to do the right thing and stay away from him. I was pleasantly surprised to see Ruby/Red's story included and not quickly explained as some others were.

However, they do delve into Fairy Tale Land to tell some parts of the story concerning Snow White, Charming, and Red Riding Hood. And, yes, Jefferson gets his 5 minutes of fame as well. Some moments are shortened, quickly glossed over, or explained by Henry, but not in a way that makes it feel rushed. Of course just for the sake of space they couldn't put everything in. So pretty much all of the major events that happen in Storybrooke during the show are in here. The book primarily focuses on what happens in Storybrooke and switches between Emma and Mary Margaret's point of view. If Emma can learn to accept her destiny as Storybrooke's savior and break the curse, she just might get the family reunion she's dreamed about her entire life. The closer Emma comes to Henry in Storybrooke, the harder it is for her to ignore the dark curse that haunts this small New England town and binds her to Mary Margaret. Snow's a young woman learning to become a hero, who will do anything to live happily ever after with her one true love, Prince Charming. In Fairy Tale Land, we meet Snow White as a bandit on the run, forced into exile by her stepmother, the Evil Queen.

And if Henry's right, that means that his sweet-natured, lonely schoolteacher Mary Margaret Blanchard is really Snow White, the iconic princess. Henry takes Emma back to his home in Storybrooke, Maine, where, Henry claims, all the residents are actually fairy tale characters who can't remember their true identities. He's the son Emma gave up for adoption, and this surprise visit turns her life upside down. She's been on her own since she was abandoned as a baby-that is, until the night of her twenty-eighth birthday, when Henry, a ten-year-old boy, shows up on her doorstep. Emma Swan's life has been anything but a fairy tale.
