The Goose Girl is my favorite book! I LOVE IT! It is my kind of fairy tale! The other books in teh series are good too but I just love this one! My favorite part is:
"Well then, the first thing I would like to tell you, my lady, and I'd better tell it quickly because my heart is likely to break through my rib cage any moment, the first thing is that I love you. And the second thing is that, as much as I honor your former profession, I don't think your geese care much for your betrothed, and I hope they hadn't any plans on sharing our bed."
"Oh, but think what use they'd be," said Ani. "They'd encourage snooping maids to stay away from our bedroom, and on particularly busy days we could stick hats on them and let them receive some of our supplicants."
"Ah, yes, excellent point."
He smiled, and all signs of worry disappeared from his face. With happy enthusiasm, he stood up, his hands on his sword hilt, and shouted, " I Geric-Sinath of Gerhard, declare right now that you are beautiful and you're perfect and I'll slay any man who tries to take you from my side. Goose girl, may I kiss you?"
She answered by standing and kissing him first and held his cheeks and closed her eyes and felt sure as bones and deep as blood that she had found her place.
And there you have it... My very most favoriteset part of my very most favoritest book!
