โœฆ Synopsis

The acclaimed Marigold series in one volume. "A mixture of fantasy, romance, comedy, and coming-of-age . . . and it's all great fun."โ€”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

"Cold indeed is the heart not made warm by this bubbly fairy-tale romance."โ€”Kirkus Reviews

"Ferris leisurely combines elements of adventure, fantasy, romance, and humor."โ€”Booklist

"An upbeat fairy-tale adventure."โ€”School Library Journal

Christian was clueless when he started spying on the royal family through his telescope. He lives in a cave with a troll for a dad, after all. If his dad had only warned him about all that mind-boggling love stuff, maybe things wouldn't be such a mess. Although then, maybe, Princess Marigold would b
