Summary "Little Maid Marigold" by Eleanora H. Stooke is a children's novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows an eleven-year-old girl named Marigold, who is sent to live with her wealthy aunts in Exeter after her mother struggles to support her family as a widow. The protagonist grapples with the challenges of separation from her mother and brothers, while adapting to a new life that contrasts sharply with her previous upbringing in a working-class environment. At the start of the novel, Marigold's life takes a significant turn as her mother, Mrs. Holcroft, informs her of a letter that offers Marigold an opportunity to live with her father's wealthy aunts. Although Marigold is initially resistant to the idea due to her strong attachment to her mother, her mother believes it is the best choice for Marigold's education and future. The opening chapters depict the bittersweet moments of departure, Marigold's arrival at her aunts' home, and her early encounters with new friends and adversaries at school, setting up a narrative filled with themes of family, duty, and personal growth. As she navigates her new life, the novel hints at the internal and external conflicts she will face as she strives to honor her mother's sacrifices and find her place in a world marked by privilege and expectation.
