I don't think Isaac write all the stories that are found in Henry's book alone. I think past authors before him also write in that book. The fairytale chapter doesn't need to be in order of chronology like the way it happened in the show before the first curse, that's why each story starts with "Once Upon A Time". Each of the fairytale chapters are recorded by their respective authors known in the real world (LWM), and I think all authors are from LWM, that's why LWM is so special, it is the only land of all the lands that has no magic (hence the name). For example, Ariel's encounter with Prince Eric and her whole story involving Eric is recorded and written in the book by Hans Christian Andersen, and so is Ursula's story and also Ingrid's story, Snow's and Regina's story is recorded by one of the Grimm Brothers, and so is Red's story, but each author does not always write the exact moments that happened. HCA could mistake Ursula, who is the daughter of a sea king, as the same little mermaid that saved the prince (Ariel). The author who wrote Belle's story might also mistake the Beast as one entity, who Belle fell in love with (Rumpel) and turn into a prince (Philip) as the same Beast. That's why all the fairytales that we know are slightly different that what really happened in the show.
