Review Summary
"Goose Chase" is about a poor goosegirl named Alexandria Aurora Fortunato who, by a sudden turn of events, becomes drop-dead gorgeous.   Now that gold falls from her hair, and her tears turn into diamonds, she is locked up in a tower by two rivals determined to marry her: King Claudio the Cruel and Prince Edmund of Dorloo.
      Alexandria manages to escape with the help of her noble geese, but this is only the beginning of her hectic adventures.   Will Alexandria ever escape her obssesed captors and return to a normal life?
