Their first original publication was Lucy Maud Montgomery's Kilmeny of the Orchard. Before WWII they continued to publish such early Canadian writers as Bliss Carman, Stephen Leacock, Frederick Philip Grove, Marjorie Picktall, and Duncan Campbell Scott. After the war McClelland's son Jack turned the company into a more aggressively 'Canadian' publisher and developed an impressive list of serious indigenous author's at constantly personal risk. 1949     The Red Heart, James Reaney 1953     The Colour as Naked, Patrick Anderson 1954     The Metal & The Flower, P.K.
