Product Description

Product Description

The eccentric Lesley family could not agree on what to name Lorraine's new baby girl even after four months. Lorraine secretly liked the name Marigold, but who would ever agree to such a fanciful name as that? When the baby falls ill and gentle Dr. M. Woodruff Richards saves her life, the family decides to name the child after the good doctor. But a girl named Woodruff? How fortunate that Dr. Richards's seldom-used first name turns out to be . . .Marigold! A child with such an unusual name is destined for adventure. It all begins the day Marigold meets a girl in a beautiful green dress who claims to be a real-life princess...


Ingram

None of the eccentric Lesleys can agree on what to call Lorraine's baby. Lorraine secretly wishes to name her Marigold but is sure no one else will like it. But when the baby becomes ill and is saved by a kindly doctor, the family wants to name her after him. And his name is . . . Marigold!

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Book, Jan 10 2002
By Kaitlin (United States) - See all my reviews
Noone knew what to name the baby. Her father was dead and anyway he didnt have a name that could have a girl version. One day the baby gets sick. All the men doctors say there is no hope. They resort to the woman doctor. She saves the babys life. Her name is Marigold(which is what her mom wanted to name her anyway). So then Marigold grows into childhood. She has many adventures. This is a story everyone would like (except mabe males).

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing after Anne, Sep 20 2001
By F. Mercer "bibliophile" (Phoenix, NY United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Looking forward to reading some of Montgomery's other works, I spent several days laboring over Magic for Marigold. The book is well written, sometimes enjoyable and entertaining, often slow and boring. Marigold is no Anne. She isn't Rilla, either. She has no spunk, no fire-- and that is what I always loved about Anne and all of the women in the Green Gables series.
That is not to say that Marigold doesn't get into Anne-like scrapes. She just doesn't get out of them in Anne-like ways.

The Princess Varvara incident is a great example. Marigold is lead-practically dragged- into mischief by a mysterious girl who insists that she is a princess. Not only is Marigold unable to be bad on her own, but she can't be good on her own either. She lacks decisiveness and a will. Perhaps that comes from being raised in a household with an over-domineering great-grandmother, a domineering grandmother and a push over mother.
A true L. M. Montgomery fan will have to read this book to experience another side of Montgomery, just don't have your heart set on meeting an engaging, enchanting girl. The most enchanting thing about Marigold is her name.

4.0 out of 5 stars FAVORITE AUTHOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!********, Jan 29 2001
This book was given to me by my parents for Christmas and when I saw who wrote it I knew I was in for a good book. Magic For Marigold is one of those books which can warm your heart with laughter because of childish mistakes, and make you angry because of how the other characters are treated. I recommend this book to anyone who has an imagination and would be able to imagine what goes on in a child's mind.
