Trivia / A Tale of...

• Blooper: Page 224 of Mother Knows Best: A Tale of the Old Witch contains a typo: Lucinda says "overheard", not "overhead".
• Follow the Leader: As with Once Upon a Time, Maleficent and Descendants, this series is yet another way for Disney to jump on the Twice-Told Tale / Perspective Flip / "villains are people too" bandwagon Wicked and its musical adaptation launched.
• Sequel Gap: There was a five year gap between the first and second book. In contrast, the future books came out within a year of each other.
• What Could Have Been: A show adapting the books was initially planned for Disney+ under the title of The Book of Enchantment for a November 12th 2019 release, but was scrapped (though may be picked up later), apparently due to being too dark for a show about Disney characters as well as being very expensive.
