Lavender
Delphi was supposed to marry a Prince. Instead she is sleeping in a barn and selling lavender at the market.
Lady Delphi Rothshire knew little about the world outside her family until the day she was sent to marry Prince Julian. On her first day away from home, she learns it is possible to be abducted, usurped and abandoned in a surprisingly short space of time and yet still keep up one's spirits.
Unable to tell anyone who she is for fear of losing her tongue, Delphi must find a way to survive in her new world and to reclaim her Prince. But how is she to do that when she is stuck in the middle of nowhere with only a faded, yellow dress on her back as she sells lavender at market for a curmudgeonly old bat named Minnie?
It certainly doesn't help that an irritatingly handsome Farm Boy is proving to be an attractive but unwanted distraction.

Short and sweet.
This was a short and sweet retelling with the classic elements of the goose girl. A great read for a lazy afternoon.

I wasn't very familiar with the original story of the Goose Girl the first time I read this story but I found it very enjoyable with great characters and an entertaining plot. This was the first book in the series I read and I plan to look into reading more from the series.
