	Magic for Marigold




Marigold is the youngest of Maud's heroines. Unlike her other protagonists, she is not allowed to grow up, and remains a charming child forever. Magic for Marigold does not really have a plot, it is a pleasant collection of incidents and character sketches. Marigold Lesley is delightful, adorable and every bit as charming as Maud's other characters. Marigold's Old Grandmother is a wonderfully devilish woman, and reminds me of Emily's Aunt Nancy. The book ends when Marigold is twelve, and thus, she does not have to go through the disappointments of adult life that Anne, Emily, Pat and Valancy have. The book is written in the same charming, witty voice that we are used to, and Montgomery shows off her uncanny understanding of children and the way that their minds work.
