The second in the `Marjorie Maynard' series of children's books, in `Marjorie's Busy Days' we are reunited with the mischievous young Marjorie. Back at home with her family, Marjorie always seems to find herself in some kind of trouble, despite her best efforts to be good. A sweet story from the popular children's author Carolyn Wells. Fans of L.M. Montgomery's `Anne of Green Gables' and `What Katie Did' by Susan Coolidge will enjoy the wholesome Marjorie Maynard series.
