Uhm... I'm not sure how to feel about this. I kind of like it, but it brings up many many questions. For instance, can there be more than one author at a time? Or did Gorin/Peddler become the author when Disney died in 1966?

Now, isn't the author supposed to retell history in the books? And if so, how did Disney retell the Enchanted Forest history decades before some of the events he depicted even happened? My guess is he was approached by the apprentice and had the future revealed to him. Also, are there other authors in the disney company, due to the many films that came after Walt died?

This takes us to the rest of the authors. I assume Hans Christian Andersen and the brothers Grimm, among many others, were all authors as well, right? They wrote about the EF history centuries before it took place. Who else... Lewis Carrol, J M Barrie... and whynot, Hesiod, Homer and others from more than two thousand years ago? Does the sorcerer's power of foresight go that far ahead?
