Overview
L.M. Montgomery published several shorter works in 1910. These included the short story “A Garden of Old Delights,” the poems “A Shore Picture” and “Companioned,” and the article “Four Questions Answered.” She also participated in a round table entitled “Canadian Writers on Canadian Literature—A Symposium.” The serialization of Anne of Green Gables in The Family Herald and Weekly Star (Montreal) and The Housewife (New York), begun in December 1909, continued well into 1910 and were followed by serializations of Anne of Avonlea in both periodicals as well as of Kilmeny of the Orchard in The Family Herald and Weekly Star.
