I'm limiting the poll to these four, because they're all fairly traditional fantasy retellings that often serve as a reader's first introduction to retellings. They're all books that can top someone's personal list, and I suspect the answer says a lot about your approach to retellings.

What if Disney adapted The Goose Girl?

I think Disney could pull off a Goose Girl animation with very few alterations!

A beautiful princess (with only one parent and a magical horse sidekick) travels to meet her one true love royal fiancé the Prince, but is forced to change places with her deceitful chambermaid who marries the Prince instead while the Princess is forced to become a humble goose girl. Until, of course, the truth is uncovered and true love wins. That's very Disney! There are even songs (well, verses) in the orignal fairy tale already!

They could give the Goose Girl Cinderella energy:

And the false Chambermaid big Vanessa energy:

For the full Disney treatment, I'd expect these changes though:

The Princess and the Prince have a prior meeting somehow, so it's not 'just' an arranged marriage but counts as love at first sight. Probably the Prince comes across her, but not her chambermaid, while they are near the palace. They speak, but he does not know who she is

Falada the talking horse does get killed (Disney doesn't mind animal death) but having a decapitated horsehead still talking to the heroine is too gruesome, so instead Falada's presence continues as her (singing) voice on the wind and the wind occasionally taking a vague horse shape to comfort or help the Princess

For instance when the Goose Girl Princess asks the wind to steal little Conrad's hat so she can brush and braid her hair in peace. She's not commanding the elements with unexplained magic, she's simply calling on Falada

To give the Prince a bit more agency he should probably be very unhappy when he meets his bride and even more unhappy when he notices the new Goose Girl is the girl he fell in love with at first sight

Unlike in the original the Prince and the False Bride do not get married yet, the plot is uncovered just in time to stop their wedding, needing an annulment is very un-Disney

In the original the old king uncovers the truth, but that's not very romantic, so it should probably be the Prince himself. OR it is his father who reveals to him he is engaged to a false bride, and the prince is overjoyed and begs to be allowed to marry the Goose Girl he has fallen in love with instead, before he even knows she is the true Princess

Of course the false bride cannot be put in a barrel studded with nails and dragged through the streets until death, so instead she will flee in a carriage when her lies are exposed but the wind will spook the horses and the carriage (not the horses) will go off a cliff

There! I think that would have been a fine companion to Sleeping Beauty and the Little Mermaid

Comparing fairy tales with their inspirations from legendary sagas produces a weird effect, because you can see where the stories have been simplified and the behavior of the protagonists sanitized.

The Goose Girl whose position was stolen by her handmaiden and was reduced to speaking to her beheaded horse Falada was a club-footed princess who originally agreed to switch places with her maid because she was self-conscious about her feet and feared her prince was short and ugly. She was also mother of Charlemagne.

The Goose Girl at the Well who was exiled for saying she loved her father like meat loves salt was a British queen who led an army to rescue her father who had been driven insane by her abusive sisters.

Sleeping Beauty, who was cursed to sleep for a hundred years, was a Valkyrie who masterminded the death of her prince when he was brainwashed into marrying another woman, and then threw herself onto his pyre so she could die with him.

The youngest brother of the Wild Swans, whose arm remained a swan wing because his sister ran out of thread to make the tunic that would break his curse, became a knight in a swan boat that avenged a noble maiden's honor and had children with her that would give rise to the royal line of Bouillon.

Cinderella was a successful courtesan and a self-made woman, who had no fairy god mother, but did have a fling with fable-teller Aesop as well as an epic rivalry with her sister-in-law, who happened to be one of the greatest poets of their age. Alternatively, she was a queen of Egypt to died before seeing her family enslaved by the mad Persian king Cambyses.

The mystical husbands of East of the Sun and West of the Moon, The Iron Stove, and the Feather of Finist the Falcon were originally the god Eros, and the Beauty that had to find her husband after losing him was his wife Psyche.

Often the animal husband takes the form of a snake. In certain myths among the indigenous Taiwanese, the animal husband is a snake and the ancestor of their people. In Baltic and Slavic stories, the snake husband is never accepted by his wife's family, who kill him through deceit. Meanwhile, a 9th century Chinese story makes the husband into a Yaksha, and the lovers are eventually parted because the wife cannot stay in the realm of the Yaksha.

Related to the animal husband theme, the Beast was a tragic man from Tenerife with hypertrichosis, and Beauty was a noblewoman who was married to him almost as a joke. Though they lived a long and happy life together, four of their seven children were stolen away and sent to live in foreign courts because they shared their father's condition.

The Girl Without Hands was a Mercian queen who ruled her nation with iron fists, and was involved in more than one assassination.

Maid Maleen's original name was Brangaine, the maid of Tristan and Iseult. In most variants of the tale, it is the guilty bride who substitutes her maid in the bridal procession to hide her loss of virginity that is the actual protagonist. When the prince questions her about the children she has born, she is forced to reveal the tokens that her lover left with her, and the prince realizes that he himself is the lover in question, and apologizes and proceeds with the wedding.

The speechless Little Mermaid's beloved prince was a Swedish duke, brother to the king, named Magnus Vasa. He was afflicted with psychotic episodes throughout his life, and had assistants assigned to look after him. He never married but had a longtime affair with a commoner woman who cared for him. During one of his episodes, he jumped into a moat, claiming to have seen a woman there. This became the basis for a class of ballads called Herr Magnus and the Mermaid, which describes how Magnus lost his heart and then his mind to the mermaid after initially rejecting her. This then became stories of the tragic mermaid's rejection and revenge.

Goose Girl Short Stories

I found three collections of fairy tales and read all the versions of the goose girl within them!

black thorn, white rose- the goose girl by tim wynne-jones

the prince now king tells the story after it takes place, when the maid has already died, years later

he cared for the maid (possibly loved?)

the princess is attracted to women

the change was not forced

princess seems to be playing games and unkind, as well as naieve

falada is dead and talks to the king and they are friends

the events of the story are the same as the Grimm Brothers' but the emotions and perspective are different

a wolf at the door- falada: the goose girl's horse by nancy farmer

falada tells the story and hes a snob

he's a fae horse banished to complete a task in the human world

the princess is a whiny child

the maid is actually revealed to be a fae on a mission to build courage in the princess

uhhh yeah this was pretty short, not much happened, not notable

other ever afters: new queer fairy tales- the goose girl

so this is named the goose girl but plot wise is entirely different. it is also a graphic novel as well!

its about a princess who proposes to a goose girl but the goose girl keeps rebuffing her, saying how can i accept this offer when my family and my people are still in poverty

the princess keeps changing her offer as a bribe essentially, and the goose girl is like, how is this fair to you or me, now i will wonder if i leave, will you change your promises to the country and now you will wonder if i ever love you?

anyways, so the princess gives the goose girl access to the treasury and goes on a quest to find herself and then the story ends

i believe this is the first goose girl i have read where the characters were shown to have dark skin

this was my favorite of all of three!

#the goose girl #my goose girl era #these were interesting to read together #i plan to read more goose girls soon!!

I love doing Inktober every year. I can’t remember the last time I used the official prompt list, though—I t’s so much more fun to search through the creative themes that people come up with, and find something really inspiring. This piece is from this past year, when I used a fairytale promptlist. The story for the day was The Goose Girl (one of my favorites); I went with an image of the forsaken princess calling out to her slain horse, Falada.

Drawn with a Pilot Penmanship fountain pen, 6 1/4 x 10 1/4 inches.
