This collection brings together two enchanting novels by L. M. Montgomery, taking readers on a journey through the imaginative worlds of two young girls from Prince Edward Island, Marigold Lesley and Jane Victoria Stuart.

In Magic for Marigold, readers are introduced to Marigold Lesley, an imaginative and spirited child living with her family at Cloud of Spruce on Prince Edward Island. Marigold’s world is filled with whimsical fantasies and magical adventures, especially with her eccentric playmate, Sylvia. Originally published in 1929, this novel is a heartwarming tale of beauty, magic, and the boundless wonders of childhood.

The second story, Jane of Lantern Hill, tells the tale of Jane Victoria Stuart, an unsatisfied girl living with her mother, aunt, and cranky old grandmother in Toronto. Jane’s life changes dramatically when she discovers that her father, whom she believed to be dead, is alive and living on Prince Edward Island. When Jane spends a summer with him at Lantern Hill, she finds herself in a world of newfound happiness. Originally published in 1937, this novel is a touching exploration of the enduring bond between a father and daughter.

Bringing together two treasured novels from the beloved author of Anne of Green Gables, this Read & Co. Children’s edition pairs two of Montgomery’s warmest standalone stories in one volume – a charming keepsake to treasure and a wonderful gift for a young reader who loves Prince Edward Island.
