The Books of Bayern: The Goose Girl Review
Hale’s haunting retelling of The Goose Girl starts with a princess, a princess born with a word at her tongue. Once she awakes three days later, she doesn’t know the name but she grows entangled with the speech of animals. It’s an ancient magic, and a distrusted one compared to people-speak. Princess Anidori-Kiladra Talianna Isilee…
