The Goose Girl

Princess Anidori-Kiladra of Kildenree was born with a word on her tongue, and a secret magic. Though she is raised in luxury, she is never quite comfortable with who she is, or what she is to become. Then she is sent on a journey to marry an unknown prince. The trip is difficult, and before it is finished all her expectations are overturned. Alone, friendless, stripped of her crown and her title, Ani must learn to make her own path in the world. Along the way, she just might learn to be a princess. Bold in its concept, stunning in its execution, The Goose Girl is one of the most spectacular debut novels of recent years. Now over four dozen actors bring it to thrilling new life in this unabridged audio edition -- a recording that will delight those who already love the book, and enthrall those who have not yet discovered it. Shannon Hale has been a storyteller from birth, according to her mother. A former actress, she earned a Masters degree in Creative Writing from the University of Montana. Shannon lives in Salt Lake City with her husband and her son. You can visit her online at www.squeetus.com.
