‘Hale's writing is beautiful, with a vivid eye for detail' Daily Telegraph
Anidora-Kiladra Talianna Isilee, Crown Princess of Kilindree, spent the first years of her life listening to her aunt's incredible stories, and learning the language of the birds. Little knowing how valuable her aunt's strange knowledge would prove to be when she grew older.
From the Grimm's fairy tale of the princess who became a goose girl before she could become a queen, Shannon Hale has woven an incredible, original and magical tale of a girl who must understand her own incredible talents before she can overcome those who wish her harm.
Shannon Hale has drawn on her incredible gift for storytelling to create a powerful and magical grown-up fairytale.

Ani was always different, her aunt taught her at a young age how to speak to the swans and that she has a speech on her tongue that...

It is slightly predictable, but that's usually the case with fair...
People have recommended this book to me for over a decade now, no joke, but I finally found the motivation to try it out, and all I can say is that I'm glad I did.Wow! It's been a few months since I've read a novel that I enjoyed this much. The only other novel of Shannon Hale's that I've read is Au...
I knew nothing about The Goose Girl when I started reading it. I hadn't even read the synopsis, so I had no clue what to expect from it. It was only after I started reading it that I realized it was based off of a fairy tale of the same name that I had read. I'm a sucker for fairy tale adaptations, ...
