What time period is "The Goose Girl" by Shannon Hale set in?

Question

I'm doing a book report by "The Goose Girl" by Shannon Hale and I don't know what period it is set in. Which century? . . . . .

Thank you!

Answer 1

I don't know that it is really set in any period as it is really a fantasy type novel.

but if i were to hazard a guess i would say 1800ish

Answer 2

It's not set in our world, so say that for time period. Make connections to certain time periods, like their transportation and government are like 1700's England.

And may I say that "The Goose Girl" may be my favorite book of all time. It's the only book I can't put down every time I read it. I highly recommend "Enna Burning", also by Shannon Hale.
