Also in answer to the original question there is an interesting philosophical theory called fictional realism which is related to the multiverse theory. In a nutshell I understand it to be that if you accept the theory that multiple universes exist where something that is not real or did not happen in one universe exists or happened in another then it must be true that there are universes where stories that are fiction in one world are real in another. Well that's the basic argument as I understand it, I've only come across it recently so I don't know all the ins and outs in terms of arguments for and against so if anyone who knows better can add or change something please let me know.

Anyway I like to think of this theory of being a possible way of explaining how the different worlds exist but how did we come to know stories about other worlds? Who know? Maybe people have been travelling (accidentially like alice or otherwise) between universes for centuries and every now and again a story gets leaked out and becomes folklore.
