Do you think The Water-Babies by Charles Kingsley would be okay to use for an OC? It's a fantasy novel written around the same time as Alice in Wonderland, and the author seems to have marketed it as a fairy tale (given that it's also known as A Fairy Tale for a Land Baby). I admit, some of the language used in the book is kinda outdated, but I hope that wouldn't be a problem! The tone of the book kinda reminds me of George MacDonald's stories, which seem to be allowed.
