But classic literature, particularly where it has some fantasy elements, would work well. Things like Camelot work well, as would Treasure Island, and possibly even Sherlock Holmes. Things like Dracula and Hunchback are borderline, but could be made to work. We've even seen Nursery Rhymes introduced.

But some stories/genres would not work nearly as well. Westerns, Romance, Historical, Sci-Fi, and Most Horror (things like Halloween, Nightmare, Stephen King, etc) would not play well in this environment, imo. Any literature could work on the show, but most of it would have to have its own world, so I doubt we will see it. For example, they confirmed Victorian England is for British literature of that time period. So basically besides Alice, works by Jane Austen (which we saw a bit of Pride and Prejudice), Charles Dickens, etc. all exist there. Like I said though, seeing as they still have plenty of more traditional fantasy stories to tell, I doubt we will see much of these other genres. Maybe if we get another spinoff show. Not every literature belongs, only classical. We don't need Clifford the Big Red Dog or Goodnight Moon to be apart of the Once Universe. Once's Universe has a theme and not everything fits in it. And, lol, you only listed traditional lit (unless you meant any traditional lit?)
