Was delighted to see my latest volume of #LMMontgomery's rediscovered periodical writings, SCHOOLED WITH BRIARS: COLLECTED SERIALS, 1903–1939, in an ad for University of Toronto Press in a recent issue of The New York Review of Books!

Montgomery’s SCHOOLED WITH BRIARS: COLLECTED SERIALS, 1903–1913, edited by Benjamin Lefebvre, which consists of an illustration of a man and a woman standing in period clothing on a hill, possibly at sunset. Beneath this image is the following text: “These delightful, multi-chapter serial stories, originally published in installments in periodicals, offer a new genre and means of exploring Montgomery’s fiction.” —Andrea McKenzie, York University
