Note

The back cover of this first edition includes a rare promotional blurb from Montgomery, praising Della T. Lute's autobiographical novel, 'The Country Kitchen.' McClelland and Stewart published the Canadian editions of 'The Country Kitchen' (published in the US by Little, Brown and Company), and perhaps Montgomery was sent a copy of Lutes' novel by the publisher. Her comment reads, "A thousand thanks for sending me that delightful Book 'THE COUNTRY KITCHEN.' I haven't read anything in years that gave me so much pleasure. I seemed on every page to be living over again my own childhood in that old P.E. Island kitchen I remember so well. The book is so full of delightful humor and characters. Its people are alive. I've put it away on my 'special bookshelf' where I keep all the books I really love."
