"Part One was released in early December 2010. It features information about collecting L.M. Montgomery books, Joanne Wood’s excellent description of the publishing history of Montgomery’s books in Australia, and details about some of the donations that have been made of Montgomery related icons, material, and publications.

Part Two of The Shining Scroll records an overview of the 2010 Montgomery conference held on Prince Edward Island, Christy Woster’s research on the book that inspired a very young Lucy Maud Montgomery to start keeping a journal, discovery of an “Anne” dress pattern, and a summary of the first Laura Ingalls Wilder conference.


Part Three of The Shining Scroll features many stories centered on Prince Edward Island. Carolyn Collins reveals the story behind “Captain Jim’s lighthouse” from Anne’s House of Dreams in her article on Cape Tryon and the “Four Winds Lighthouse.” Carolyn also has an update on “Melrose Cottage,” the home of Montgomery’s aunt Margaret Montgomery Sutherland (read about Montgomery’s photograph of it in Elizabeth Epperly’s Through Lover’s Lane, p. 81) and an artifact from the ship, the Marco Polo (the subject of one of Montgomery’s earliest essays). We note with sadness the passing of Montgomery friends and champions, Joan O’Brien, Ruth Campbell, and Georgie Campbell MacLeod. Mary Beth Cavert writes the story of one of Montgomery’s friends in Leaskdale, Margaret Leask Mustard, to introduce the 2011 centennial and celebration of Montgomery’s arrival in Ontario. Lastly, Carolyn Collins describes one of the most rare of all Montgomery books, a little book of poetry from 1905."
