The Courting of Prissy Strong (Original 1909 Publication)
"The Courting of Prissy Strong" is a short story by L.M. Montgomery that was published in The Housewife in 1909, a year after the publication of Anne of Green Gables. L.M. Montgomery later republished this short story in her 1912 collection, Chronicles of Avonlea. Through some detective work in the library, I located this the original, illustrated version of the story from The Housewife.

I also have made a critical comparison of the L.M. Montgomery's 1909 text and the 1912 story published in Chronicles of Avonlea that shows all of the differences between the two story versions.
