Authors' Books

"When I finished the book, I returned it to the Sorcerer's Mansion. And you know what I found? Hundreds of other books... With the stories I thought I knew, but told differently. Like you know how there is a French Snow White and an Italian one. There's endless possibilites."

- Henry to Regina
