Lol using magic for an explanation simply because its a magic show is like explaining all biblical things with 'God'for Christians, it's rather lazy, and your own way of saying you don't have a clue, lots of things on the show have a reason, and im guessing that whom ever wrote that book is a powerful being that has the ability to see all, thats how the book existed and other forms of her story before it actually happened.

Alternatively, Time before the first curse from the enchanted forest worked differently, so perhaps when the curse waws cast, all it's history was shattered into the world that the characters werwe forceed into, thier history became part of earths history in the form of stories, it implemented it's into history it's self, so before the curse was inacted, the tales in our world did not exist at that point.
