Excerpt from Marjorie Fleming: The Story of Pet Marjorie, Together With Her Journals and Her LettersThe reading public, her bright, ethereal figure has left an unfading impression on the imagi nation and there must be many to whom a fuller revelation Will be welcome. Her little life-story and her wonderful diaries, hitherto unpublished, are therefore set forth in the following pages. The child endeared herself both to her own family and to a wide circle of cultured friends, including Sir Walter Scott, whose cousin was married to her aunt. But it was not until her tiny form had rested for fifty years in the ancient churchyard of Abbotshall that there appeared in print the first reference to her remarkable personality. Mr. Henry B. Farnie, a journalist and playscript copy of her journals still existed, and Dr. Brown's son has kindly allowed it to be used. The family of Capt. Bremner, Mar jorie's nephew, have lent books and other relics, and a dear friend of Marjorie's mother and sister, who lives in the house where the child was born and died, has contributed interesting details. Though but newly published in England, the book has been to some extent rewritten for America, and the opportunity has been taken to embody ad ditional information, for Marjorie has always had friends in the States, and it may be hoped that this completer revelation of her sweet self will commend her still more to the, affections of American readers.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
