Have you ever wondered what happens to characters that don’t make it into the books? Before he decided on the White Rabbit, maybe Lewis Carroll created a groundhog who’s afraid of her shadow? Perhaps Snow White once had 8 dwarves and the 8th is the world’s tallest and strongest dwarf. What if there had been 4 little pigs - and the one that got left out of the story folded origami and made his house out of paper?
