Well, the author had mostly free reign, but she still had to clear what she was doing, which says to me it is canon enough. At any rate, Adam and Eddy probably approved her doing The Fox and The Hound stuff, because I'm sure if they had a plan for that story they wouldn't have allowed her to use it in her story. Just like they didn't allow her to give Red or Granny's real first names in the book. Basically, they didn't make the story, but they approved the story, which means it is technically in the canon. Well, I think it's canon. They promote it and my using a fallacy, there is no proof that it isn't canon. They promote it and everything of Once upon a time in terms of novels have been canon (right?)
