I've finished the original Grimm Fairy Tales through #125, and I'm through Wonderland #36. I wanted to put the magical artifacts together in one thread, including the En Passant from the Well of Dreams story. This covers the objects I've been able to pin down in that reading, including the original Oz adventure. There are still smaller enchanted props in the early fairy tales that need their own closer look, so this isn't a claim that every magical object has been accounted for. The starting point has to be Sela's Book of Myst. The book is part of the series' original way of bringing fairy tales into people's lives, but its importance goes beyond the lessons Sela gives. Grimm Fairy Tales #93 explicitly identifies her former book as a portal between realms. That makes the book something other people have reason to fear, protect or destroy. It connects the intimate early stories, where someone is confronted with their own choices, to the larger struggle over access between worlds.
