Rest Time Between Marathons

I'm planning on running at least two marathons this coming year, anyone know what the sort of recovery time needed between each one should be?

I did the Robin Hood last year and was able to run a 10k race a fortnight later, but if I recall I only actually ran once before it and my legs weren't having any running before it.

I've heard 26 miles should mean 26 days taking it easy, is that right?

I'm down for the Blackpool Marathon at the beginning of April but was wondering when I should realistically consider doing another, possilbly the Windermere on 17th May. I like to have the next race booked before I do a race, to give me something to aim for and not allow myself to give up!
