Plot Summary: Alexandria Aurora Fortunato, once simply a Goose Girl, has been enchanted and put in a tower while a young, simple Prince and a older, ruthless King vie for her hand in marriage. Her twelve white geese come to her rescue just in time, and although Alexandria escapes the tower, she still has to deal with hungry ogresses, a cruel Baroness and a hapless traveling companion. All she wants is to live in the country again with her geese, but Alexandria seems to be destined for a life grander than that of a Goose Girl.
My rating: A.
I read this book several years ago and loved it. I was hoping it would hold up on a second reading, and it did. It has everything a good fairy tale ought to have: enchantments, royalty, good characters and a satisfying conclusion.
