THE GOOSE GIRL

by Marguerite de Angeli ‧ RELEASE DATE: June 26, 1964

Her own translation, with only minor modifications of the tale as it appears in the Grimm collection, provides the author/illustrator with a royal showcase for her strong drawings in black and white as well as her richly colored paintings of medieval court and country life. The restoration of the goose girl to her place as Queen will always hold its story magic and the sharp psychology of the King in tricking the villainess into naming her own punishment satisfies as only poetic justice can. The size allows the pictures to be easily seen when shown to a listening circle.
