Of Magic, Music, and Mistaken Identities

Orphaned as a child, despised by her bitter grandfather, Tallie grows up lonely and neglected. But even poor orphans can dream—and one day, Tallie receives the chance to make at least one dream come true. Accompanied by her best friend, Silas the gooseherd, she sets off to attend the grand festival honoring the Crown Prince’s homecoming. But what starts as a light-hearted excursion becomes the adventure of a lifetime when a handsome stranger joins them on the road. Will Tallie find the courage to claim her rightful place and the happy ending she deserves?

Inspired by “Tattercoats,” Every Goose A Swan is the fourth entry in the Tales Retold series.* There’s more than one road to Happy Ever After.  

*Two companion tales--"The Faun and the Fae" and "Tea with the Godmothers"--are included in this edition.
