Book excerpt: Marigold Lesley is an imaginative young girl whose father died before she was born. She grew up at her paternal relatives' estate, Cloud of Spruce. Marigold's family includes her loving mother, steely Young Grandmother, shrewd Old Grandmother, her Uncle Klondike who is a former sailor, and her Aunt Marigold, a doctor who saved Marigold's life as a baby. These people made Marigold's life mostly pleasant and carefree, but she nonetheless had her share of adventures, fancies and troubles, many related to the peculiar environment she grew up in. The book relates Marigold's seemingly incurable jealousy of her father's first wife, Clementine, an encounter with a Russian princess, several attempts to be "good"' and a surprising cooking triumph._x000D_ Content:_x000D_ MAGIC FOR MARIGOLD_x000D_ THE ALPINE PATH: THE STORY OF MY CAREER (Memoirs of Lucy Maud Montgomery)_x000D_ Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874-1942) was a Canadian author best known for a series of novels with Anne of Green Gables, an orphaned girl, mistakenly sent to a couple, who had intended to adopt a boy.
