I will try again and again.

I have discover something most unusual. It was on the top shelf, buried under a stack of old sheet music, in an obscure bookshop; wrapped in brown paper and twine - it appears to be a collection of letters written ages ago. The paper is badly stained and nearly crumbles beneath my fingers, but I'm determined to unravel its secrets. 

Success! I've figured out it is a correspondence between two cousins (and royalty no less) Princess Angevine of Winding and Princess Mirth of Carentas. The girls have both suffered some misfortune; Ange has been betrothed in a fatal alliance, while Mirth has lost her kingdom and must live as a peasant in a woodcutters cottage. This warrants further study...

The first seven letters have been translated and are presented here for everyone to read and make comments on. I must say, I'm curious to know what will happen when Ange finally reaches the Kingdom of Geyona, where someone intends of kill her. Will her disguise work or will tragedy prevail? And how will Mirth survive her new peasant's life with her two numskull brothers and a sick mother? This Stranger who follows her, he is not who he seems - I wonder.

As soon as I know more about their adventures, what the fates hold for Ange and Mirth, I will let you know.

Splash right in.

Once in ancient days, in a land of myth and lore, two young girls began to write each other letters.

Goosey, a correspondence

Being the adventures of two winsome girls, Princess Ange and Princess Mirth, written down in a collection of letters. Both Ange and Mirth are born into the highest royal status of the land and end up as peasants, one a goose girl, one a simpleton. There are no fairy godmothers to save them, but if they can find the courage and strength in their hearts, they just may find their happily ever after.

Their letters, read by many, tell how they will discover love, face betrayal and survive encounters with pirates, evil wizards, three mysterious women, various livestock and some badly written poetry.

The Book Jacket Quest begins . . . and the Gooseyness prize goes to . . .?

I've always been fond of the name Goosey, especially because of the third definition. Or maybe I just like words that end in 'Y'. Lucky. Rosey. Cosy. Posey. Nosy... (I'm making this up as I go.)

Anyway, I thought it was high time to start summarizing this story. I don't mean giving away the ending. Not yet. But I've always had trouble summarizing my stories, and making the summary interesting (and not just a dull, fact explaining sentences, yawn. I do those all the time)
