Wrap-up of Rilla of Ingleside

For our final episode discussing Rilla of Ingleside, we invited our friend Dr. Emily Woster for a good old-fashioned geek out on everything we love about this book. Our conversation is all over the place in the best way – from the books that we think would be great companion reads to Rilla, to the folklore that influenced Walter’s prophetic visions, to deep dives on a few of our favorite scenes, to L.M. Montgomery’s wartime diaries. It’s a freewheeling and fun conversation you won’t want to miss!

You can find more of Emily Woster’s work at The Anne Manuscript for high quality scans of LMM’s original handwritten manuscript and notes.

The L.M. Montgomery Bookshelf  where you can find scans of books from LMM’s library including some of her own notations in the books and Emily’s information and notes about history and context of these books!  An amazing resource!  

And you can follow Emily on bluesky for updates about her work.

Registration for the 2026 L.M. Montgomery Conference is now open so come join us there! Or register for a free virtual viewing of Megan Follows keynote address!
