My guess is that the hat is the Enchanted Forest, whoever wears it gets all knowledge of everything that happens within it, and then that person wrote the book after Snow and the Blue Fairy decided that the stories needed to be passed down.

Because if the book was magical and self-writing, it would've kept going with everything that happened after the Curse hit. It seems like Snow crouched over Charming as the Curse hits is the final page of the book, when we know Cora and Hook and the other survivors were chilling in the EF for 28 years.
