Synopsis
Magic for Marigold (1929) is a novel written by L. M. Montgomery. It is about a young girl, Marigold Lesley, who grew up in Cloud of Spruce as the only child in the well-to-do family. Marigold's father died before she was born, but she had a loving but "bossed" mother, steely Young Grandmother, shrewd Old Grandmother, former sailor Uncle Klondike, and former doctor Aunt Marigold who had saved Marigold's life and had hence become her namesake and aunt.
