Excerpt from The Lane That Had No Turning Dear Sir Wilfrid Laurier: Since I first began to write these tales in 1892, I have had it in my mind to dedicate to you the bundle of life when it should be complete. It seemed to me - and it seems so still - that to put your name upon the covering of my parcel, as one should say, In care of, when it went forth, was to secure its safe and considerate delivery to that public of the Empire which is so much in your debt.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Lane That Had No Turning, and Other Tales Concerning the People of Pontiac Dear Sir Wilfrid Laurier: Since I first began to write these tales in 1892, I have had it in my mind to dedicate to you the "bundle of life" when it should be complete. It seemed to me - and it seems so still - that to put your name upon the covering of my parcel - as one should say, In care of - when it went forth, was to secure its safe and considerate delivery to that public of the Empire which is so much in your debt. But with other feelings also, do I dedicate this volume to yourself. For many years your name has stood for a high and noble compromise between the temperaments and the intellectual and social habits of two races, and I am not singular in thinking that you have done more than most other men to make the English and French of the Dominion understand each other better. There are somewhat awkward limits to true understanding as yet, but that sympathetic service which you render to both peoples, with a conscientious striving for impartiality, tempers even the wind of party warfare to the shorn lamb of political opposition.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Lane That Had No Turning: And Other Associated Tales Concerning the People of Pontiac; Together With Certain Parables of a Province End also there are nine fantasies or stories which I called Par ables of Provinces. All of these, I think, possessed the spirit of French Canada, though all are more or less mystical in nature. They have nothing of the simple realism of The Tragic Comedy of Annette, and the earlier series. These nine stories could not be called popular, and they were the only stories I have ever written which did not have an immediate welcome from the editors to whom they were sent. In the United States I ofi'ered them to Harper's Magazine, but the editor, Henry M. Alden, while, as I know, caring for them personally, still hesitated to publish them. He thought them too symbolic for the every-day reader. He had been ofiered four of them at once because I declined to dispose of them separately, though the editor of another magazine was willing to publish two of them. Messrs. Stone 8: Kimball, how ever, who had plenty of fearlessness where literature was con cerned, immediately bought the series for The Chep Book, long since dead, and they were published in that wonderful little short-lived magazine, which contained some things of permanent value to literature. They published four of the series, namely: The Golden Pipes, The Guardian of the Fire, By that Place Called Peradventure, The Singing of the Bees, and The Tent of the Purple Mat. In England, because I would not separate the first five, and publish them individually, two or three of the editors who were taking the Pierre series and other stories appearing in this volume would not publish them. They, also, were frightened by the mystery and allusiveness of the tales, and had an apprehension that they would not be popular. Perhaps they were right. They were all fantasies, but I do not wish them other than they are. One has to write according to the impulse that seizes one and after the fashion of one's own mind. This at least can be said of all my books, that not a page of them has ever been written to order, and there is not a story published in all the pages bearing my name which does not rep resent one or two other stories rejected by myself.
