About This Item
Toronto: McClelland & Stewart, 1929 Circa 1940 reprint of the 1929 MccLelland & Stewart edition. Tan Boards with Black lettering, 328 pages. Spine is slightly cocked. Very light rubbing to corners and spine. Front endpaper contains booksellers foil sticker and gift inscription dd 1951. Although colour frontispiece is advertised, it is not included. No dust jacket save one panel with photo and biography of LMM. At time of printing, she was still alive and she had received her OBE from King George V, thus dating this book roughly between 1939 and 1942 (although, given the nonexistent frontispiece, it is certainly possible that no changes were made to the jacket after her death. Vintage book with no major flaws for age.
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.
