Magic for Marigold
The beguiling adventures of a spirited
young girl names Marigold.
For the first four
months of Marigold Lesley's life she remained nameless. No one in the eccentric
Lesley clan could agree on the name for Lorraine's child. With the child's
father dead, Lorraine felt like an outsider in her mother-in-law's home. With
all the suggestions of baby names from her persistant inlaws, she was afraid to
admit she had the perfect name for her baby. Marigold seemed to fit the nature
of such a fair child. One evening the little girl awoke with a terrible fever.
The household panicked at the thought of Leander's daughter dying. Her life is
saved by Dr. M. Woodruff Richards and everyone agrees that the child should be
named after her savior, but Woodruff? This simply wasn't a name for a little
girl. How fortunate that Dr. Richard's seldom used first name turned out to be
Marigold! From that day on, Marigold's exotic adventures live up to her unusual
name. It all begins on the fateful day when she meets a little girl who claims
to be a princess...
