Been wondering something similar. Considering Clara Lear is monetioned in the cannon it seems the world of Ever After may either had a side by side world with literary classics, however, King Lear actually DOES have many fairytale elements, and if you go by the traditional rules of what a fairytale is, ie. tales of caution, three siblings etc, it kind of falls into the fairytale genre...

That being said, due to the shift in how we live, a great many classic liternture novels have crossed the border of gritty reality into the realm of fantasy. The attitudes of mid 1800's Paris, the government, the social structure, hell, even the sity its self are vastly different from what they were in that era. So different they almost become a fantasy land.

And the Hunchback of Notre Dame was Victor Hugo- who's primary writing career was the mid 1800's. I'm pretty sure the fox and the hound was written in the early 1900's? Stylistically perhaps the 40's or 50's? Dunno, I'd have to look it up, but whatever it is, I'm positive it was written far later than Hunchback.
