The acclaimed Marigold series in one volume. "A mixture of fantasy, romance, comedy, and coming-of-age . . . and it's all great fun." — School Library Journal Once upon a Marigold, a fairy tale turned upside down, inside out, and completely over the top! Join Christian and Marigold through their one-of-a-kind adventures in this trilogy of tales that's part comedy, part love story, part everything-but-the-kitchen-sink. With echoes of William Goldman's modern classic The Princess Bride, Jean Ferris's hilarious parody of "Once upon a time . . ." overflows with oddball characters and sage observations to create a happily-ever-after that's just the beginning. Once Upon a Marigold was named an ALA Notable Children's Book, an ALA Best Book for Young Adults, and a New York Public Library 100 Books for Reading and Sharing title. Praise for the Marigold series "In a gratifying fantasy that contains elements of classic fairy tales, Ferris breathes new life into archetypal characters by adding unexpected and often humorous dimensions to their personalities." — Publishers Weekly "Cold indeed is the heart not made warm by this bubbly fairy-tale romance." — Kirkus Reviews "Ferris leisurely combines elements of adventure, fantasy, romance, and humor." — Booklist "An upbeat fairy-tale adventure." — School Library Journal
