When McClelland & Stewart's first Canadian edition of L.M. Montgomery's 'Jane of Lantern Hill' was published in 1937 (see Ryrie-Campbell: 551 JLH-MS 1ST), it included an enthusiastic quote from L.M. Montgomery on the dust jacket back panel praising 'The Country Kitchen' (McClelland & Stewart was, presumably, the Canadian distributor for Lutes' book). Research by the donor indicates that this was Montgomery's only known promotional "blurb" for another author's book. ["First published in 1936, Della Lutes's semi-autobiographical tale of life in late nineteenth-century rural Michigan was widely acclaimed. The book includes an index to recipes hidden within the humorous narrative." from Google Books]
