The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale is a wonderful retelling of a "lesser" known fairy tale, the goose girl.
Basically, the fairy tale is about a girl who is on her way to meet her betrothed when the company that she's traveling with betrays her and places a charlatan in her place. This forces the real princess to get a job as a goose girl to find her way back to her reclaim her title.
This basic plotline in the Goose Girl is followed but author Ms. Hale does more. She gives the characters more depth and personality. She also provides her own explanations as to how or why things happened.
A great retelling full of romance, action, and humor! Defintely recommended!
