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...
