Publisher Description

"Magic for Marigold" by L. M. Montgomery tells the story of Marigold Lesley, a sensitive and imaginative girl growing up on her family's farm, Cloud of Spruce, on Prince Edward Island. After her father's death, Marigold is raised by her strong-willed mother and a circle of eccentric relatives. Her vivid imagination often leads her into whimsical adventures and misunderstandings as she learns about friendship, love, and the complexities of family life.

Throughout the novel, Marigold's inner world-filled with dreams, stories, and invisible friends-reflects her struggle to balance fantasy with reality. As she matures, she begins to understand herself and the people around her more deeply, finding beauty and meaning in everyday life.

Montgomery's gentle humor, lyrical descriptions, and insight into childhood make "Magic for Marigold" a tender coming-of-age tale about creativity, belonging, and the quiet magic of growing up. It is presented here in its original and unabridged format.

About L.M. Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874-1942) was a Canadian author best known for her Anne Shirley books, which began with "Anne of Green Gables" in 1908 and expanded into a six-book series concluding with "Anne of Ingleside" in 1939. (Characters from the Anne Shirley series were also spun off into stories and books of their own.) But Montgomery was responsible for far more than just the Anne Shirley books; during the course of her long career, Montgomery managed to complete twenty novels, over five hundred short stories, another five hundred poems and thirty essays. Born and raised on Prince Edward Island, Montgomery would later set almost all of her stories there and created in the fictional community of Avonlea for her characters to live. A writer from an early age, Montgomery was already selling short stories at a fairly rapid clip when in 1908, she published "Anne of Green Gables," which became an immediate sensation and catapulted Montgomery into a central position in Canadian literature. The success of her "Anne of Green Gables" series encouraged Montgomery to explore other book series including the Emily trilogy and the pair of two-book series: "Pat of Silver Bush" and "The Story Girl." She also wrote five stand-along novels - including the critically acclaimed "The Blue Castle" - and multiple collections of her short stories, many of which take place in and around her fictional Avonlea. Montgomery received just about every award and honor one could receive as a celebrated Canadian author, including the Order of the British Empire (OBE). She was named a National Historic Person in 1943 and her home - now a popular tourist destination- was named a National Historic Site in 1997. After suffering for years from depression and mental illness, Montgomery died - possibly by her own hand - in 1942. She is among the most celebrated and admired authors in Canadian history and her books have been adapted multiple times to the stage and screen.
