This is the third book of the 'Marshmallow' trilogy. It is a fictional autobiography written by Ethelwyn Percivale, or 'Wynnie'. Her father is a clergyman, Mr. Walton, whose history has already been told in "A Quiet Neighborhood", the first of the three books. Wynnie has a happy childhood and falls in love with a struggling artist. It is about Wynnie and her family, and her little circle of old and new friends. We learn much about the poor of society of that time. This book is set in the real, every-day world, and our narrator is serious when she calls her life ''quiet and ordinary''. Though there are some exciting incidents, visits made, and long conversations about God. This book is a delightful read. - Summary by fiddlesticks

It came to our notice that section 20 "Her Story (part 1)" was incorrect - a second recording of section 19. This has been fixed as of today.
Enjoyable conclusion

This book was an enjoyable conclusion to.the other two books in the trilogy. The periodic style of all three book was different than other books I have read by GGeorge MacDonald. This book had many spiritual truth about the poor, work, trust, parenting, marriage, etc. that I found insightful and thought provoking. Thank you to all the readers who make listening to Geaorge Macdonald's original works possible.
Sweet and uplifting but much too long to be worth it.

This book is not nearly the equal of George Macdonaldâs Annals of A Quiet Neighborhood. It is very long. Its few gems are strung out among many tedious chapters. Almost no one today would take the trouble to read this book. George MacDonald
