false 179064 18 She was born with her eyes closed and a word on her tongue, a word she could not taste. Anidori-Kiladra Talianna Isilee, Crown Princess of Kildenree, spends the first years of her life under her aunt's guidance learning to communicate with animals. As she grows up Ani develops the skills of animal speech, but is never comfortable speaking with people, so when her silver-tongued lady-in-waiting leads a mutiny during Ani's journey to be married in a foreign land, Ani is helpless and cannot persuade anyone to assist her. Becoming a goose girl for the king, Ani eventually uses her own special, nearly magical powers to find her way to her true destiny. From the Grimm’s fairy tale of the princess who became a goose girl before she could become queen, Shannon Hale has woven an incredible, original, and magical tale of a girl who must find her own unusual talents before she can lead the people she has made her own. 2715267 book 2003 The Goose Girl (The Books of Bayern, #1) total:14276|5:6731|4:5579|3:1682|2:225|1:59| 14276 61526 18392 3713 4 17 false false Sun Mar 30 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Mar 21 11:25:31 -0700 2008 Sun Mar 30 09:28:11 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 3 false false Sat Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Sat Nov 10 14:07:35 -0800 2007 Tue Feb 19 19:40:14 -0800 2008
