The version I read as a child, Andrew Lang’s, has some heart-breaking poetry included that has stuck with me all my life, and the whole thing ends on a deliciously bloodthirsty note of revenge. I’ve always really enjoyed The Goose Girl as a fairy tale it’s the story of a princess whose role is usurped by her handmaiden, and who has to work as a goose girl in a foreign kingdom, until she can convince the prince she was supposed to marry that she is his true love after all. When I heard it was being reworked for traditional publishing, I was thrilled, and I’m so happy to be able to tell you it’s even better in this form! I first read Thorn in 2018, as a self-published novel, and I loved its smart, wry, thought-provoking take on one of my favourite fairy tales, The Goose Girl. ![]() Content warning: Heroine’s family vary from emotionally to physically abusive. ![]() |
