  <default-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. . . .</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[Marigold is not as strong or developed as Montgomery's other heroines, and there is more of the flowery fluff that scars Montgomery's reputation as a writer in this book. I think of this one as a lesser Montgomery, one she cranked out to please the public.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was a different Montgomery book in that the heroine was so young and did not get into the scrapes that I was used to reading about. I don't remember too much and may have to re-read this one. But I do remember thinking it was sweet.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really enjoyed several of L.M. Mongtgomery's &quot;other&quot; books -- other than Anne of Green Gables, that is. She is a very gifted storyteller, and I love how she is able to transport me into a different, simple world.]]></body>
