Very often these stories would go on night after night. Whilst still a child she joined a writing group and used the pen name, 'A Mere Girl'.
In the school holidays her family used to rent a cottage form the writer, Elizabeth Nesbitt, who wrote 'Five Children and It'. Here, Marion would avidly read Ms Nesbitt's book collection.
