This is book number 1 in the Books of Bayern series.
I cannot express how deeply formative this book and its sequels were to me as a young reader. Shannon Hale undoubtedly sparked my love of fantasy, fairy tales, and perhaps reading itself with this story full of magic, fiercely determined female characters, and just the right amount of heartache and happy endings.

Some books you read as a child stay with you for the rest of your life. This is one of those books. The Goose Girl is a beautiful, big-hearted fairytale expertly told. I have reread this every year since I was nine years old and it remains just as magical now as it was then.

Description
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 concept, stunning in execution, The Goose Girl is one of the most spectacular debut novels of recent years. Now more than 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.
