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 a well-to-do farming 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. These people made Marigold's life mostly pleasant and carefree, but she nonetheless had her share of adventures, fancies and troubles, such as her seemingly incurable jealousy to father's first wife Clementine, an encounter with a Russian princess, several attempts to be "good", and a surprising cooking triumph, many of which were related to the peculiar environment she grew up in. Among the most long-lasting products of Marigold's imaginative mind was Sylvia, her imaginary playmate whom she loved dearly and who took the place of many real-life friends for her. But gradually Marigold was growing up and the troubles with boys slowly crept into her life, and eventually twelve-year-old Marigold found herself having to say goodbye to Sylvia—and to childhood.

Montgomery, was a Canadian author best known for a series of novels beginning with Anne of Green Gables, published in 1908. Anne of Green Gables was an immediate success. The central character, Anne, an orphaned girl, made Montgomery famous in her lifetime and gave her an international following. The first novel was followed by a series of sequels with Anne as the central character. Montgomery went on to publish 20 novels as well as 500 short stories and poems. Because many of the novels were set on Prince Edward Island, Canada and the Canadian province became literary landmarks.
