* ShoutOut: There are references to classic fairy tales. One is of a wicked stepmother who had a nymph cast a spell to poison a golden apple she wanted for her stepdaughter (something like ''Literature/SnowWhite'') but it backfired, poisoning an entire apple crop. Wren meets a toad who claims he's a lord turned into this by a witch, with a kiss turning him back (''Literature/TheFrogPrince''). It turns out he's a sprite who wants to trick her though, and if she kissed him ''she'd'' turn into a toad too. There's also mention of a creature called a "[[Literature/Rumpelstiltskin stiltzkin]]" that girls can trade their names for the ability to turn straw into gold
