Summary "Johnny Nut and the Golden Goose" by Charles Deulin is a whimsical tale adapted into English by Andrew Lang, first published in the late 19th century. This book falls into the category of children's literature and fairy tales, drawing from French folklore and oral traditions. It revolves around themes of innocence, adventure, and the pursuit of dreams, as it follows the journey of a simple-minded boy named Johnny Nut who longs to taste roast goose, leading him through various humorous and magical encounters. The story chronicles Johnny Nut, an innocent cow-boy who, after enduring a life of simple meals, sets off to taste roast goose from the famed village of Hergnies. Along his journey, he faces numerous mishaps, including losing a chicken, a cow, and even a maid he intended to marry. However, luck smiles upon him when he discovers a golden goose that leads to a series of comical events involving a group of villagers who become magically stuck to the goose. Ultimately, Johnny's journey culminates in his unexpected rise to royalty when he causes the melancholic princess to laugh. The tale not only entertains with its slapstick humor but underscores the importance of kindness, simplicity, and the joy found in life's unexpected turns.
