Overview
L.M. Montgomery published several shorter works in 1939, including eight short stories entitled “Chronicles of Ingleside” based on episodes in her novel Anne of Ingleside, a sketch on Prince Edward Island in an anthology entitled The Spirit of Canada, and an essay about writing entitled “An Author Speaks.”
Prince Edward Island (sketch)
The Spirit of Canada: Dominion and Provinces, a Souvenir of Welcome to H.M. King George VI and H.M. Queen Elizabeth (N.p.: Canadian Pacific Railway, 1939), 16, 18–19.
Synopsis
L.M. Montgomery contributed this sketch to The Spirit of Canada (1939), a souvenir album published by the Canadian Pacific Railway in honour of the King and Queen of England during their royal visit to Canada in May 1939. For the last two paragraphs, Montgomery drew on the text of an earlier sketch, “I Have Come Home,” published in 1938.

An Author Speaks (essay)
The Dalhousie Gazette (Halifax), 24 February 1939, 2.
Synopsis
In this essay, drawn in part on her 1915 essay “The Way to Make a Book,” Montgomery offers advice about writing in terms of authenticity, skill development, and revision. It appeared in an issue of The Dalhousie Gazette published by a student collective that consisted entirely of women, apparently an annual tradition at the time.
