Once Upon a Time Volume II^[1] is a book featured on ABC's Once Upon a Time. It first appears in the twenty-second episode of the fifth season.

History

After Third Curse

During Henry and Violet's quest to erase magic for good, they follow a clue from Neal's journal to the the New York Public Library, where they find innumerable storybooks. Henry notices each of them look the same as his own storybook and opens once called Once Upon a Time Volume II, which contains stories different from his. After looking through all of the storybooks, he and Violet do not find anything in them about how to destroy magic. ("Only You")

David tries to maintain order by directing the Land of Untold Stories residents to food and shelter in the diner and inn. This causes unrest among the newcomers until Regina welcomes them to Storybrooke. Holding the storybook, she tells them to not be fearful of their stories playing out because she will brave the unknown with them. Henry then attempts to use the book to discover a stranger's name, however, the man tells him that he isn't important enough to have his own story. ("A Bitter Draught")

As Emma, Henry and Hook attempt to find Ashley, Emma mentions her knack for finding people by trying to decipher their stories. Henry realizes the storybook can tell them how Ashley's stepsister Clorinda's story was supposed to end, and this will reveal Ashley's location. They manage to track down Ashley and Clorinda at the Storybrooke Pumpkin Farm. ("The Other Shoe")

OnceUponATimeVolumeIIDonQuixote — From *Stories of Don Quixote: Written Anew for Children*.

When Henry is flipping through the storybook in the New York Public Library, excerpts from the following stories are seen: ("Only You")
- Chapter I^[2] of Gulliver's Travels, with an illustration of Gulliver being tied down by the Lilliputians.^[3] The picture is based on an old illustration from an obscure children's book from 1883, called Gulliver's Travels: Coloured Picture Book for the Nursery; notice the near identical background, the identical outfit, etc.
- Chapter XIX of an abridged edition of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea,^[4] from the book Works of Jules Verne, Volume 5 (link to page), translated into English by Charles F. Horne in 1911. Note that chapter XIX "Torres Straits" of the abridged edition does not correspond to the complete, unabridged edition, where the chapter "Torres Straits" is chapter 20, not 19.^[5]
  - The accompanying illustration,^[6] which shows Captain Nemo taking observations of the deck of the Nautilus, is called "Le capitaine Nemo prit la hauteur du soleil." ("Captain Nemo took the altitude of the sun.") and is from a 1871 French edition of the book (link to page), illustrated by the French painter Alphonse de Neuville and the French painter and illustrator Édouard Riou.
- Chapter IV^[7] of Charles Kingsley's children's novel The Water-Babies.^[8]
- Chapter VIII^[9] of Don Quixote.^[10] The accompanying illustration is a colorized version of a picture from the retelling Stories of Don Quixote: Written Anew for Children (1910) (link to page), written by James Baldwin and illustrated by G.A. Harker. It shows Don Quixote fighting windmills that he imagines are giants.
- The "Paul Bunyan" folktale, accompanied by an illustration of Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox.^[11] The picture is based on a watercolor painting by the comic/freelance artist Chad Lewis.^[12]
  - The story in the book is adapted from a version of the folktale which can be found on several online websites:^[13]

The following is the excerpt in its entirety, with the few words that are seen in the storybook set in bold:

"Two white pigeons came in through the kitchen window,
and then the turtledoves, and finally all the birds beneath
the sky came whirring and swarming in, and
lit around the ashes. The pigeons nodded their heads and began to
pick, pick, pick, pick. And the others also began to
pick, pick, pick, pick. They gathered all the good grains
into the bowl. Hardly one hour had passed before they
were finished, and they all flew out again."
