Publisher's Note 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!
The eccentric Lesley family could not agree on what to name Lorraines 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. . . .
