Marjorie's Three Gifts is a heartwarming children's book written by Louisa May Alcott, the author of the classic novel Little Women. The story follows Marjorie, a young girl who is excitedly awaiting her twelfth birthday. On the day of her birthday, Marjorie is surprised with three gifts from her mother: a beautiful new dress, a writing desk, and a special trip to visit her grandmother.As Marjorie enjoys her new dress and begins to use her writing desk, she learns the importance of gratitude and the joy of giving back. She decides to use her writing desk to write letters to her friends and family, expressing her appreciation for their love and support. When Marjorie visits her grandmother, she discovers that her grandmother is in need of a new pair of glasses but cannot afford them. Marjorie selflessly uses her birthday money to buy her grandmother the glasses she needs, realizing that the greatest gift of all is the ability to help others.Alcott's charming tale is full of heart and kindness, teaching young readers the importance of gratitude, generosity, and compassion. With beautiful illustrations and a timeless message, Marjorie's Three Gifts is a delightful story that will inspire readers of all ages.In vain they searched; in vain Marie wailed and Belle declared it must be somewhere; no wreath appeared. It was duly set down in the bill, and a fine sum charged for a head-dress to match the dainty forget-me-nots that looped the fleecy skirts and ornamented the bosom of the dress. It had evidently been forgotten; and mamma despatched Marie at once to try and match the flowers, for Belle would not hear of any other decoration for her beautiful blonde hair.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
