The Blue Castle

One of L. M. Montgomery's most-loved novels, now available in a beautiful new edition with cover artwork by Briana Corr Scott. Valancy Stirling wakes on the morning of her twenty-ninth birthday and worries she has nothing to live for. Not only is she an "old maid" who's never been in love, she's never had a friend of her own. Never done anything of note. Living under the thumb of her meddlesome, overbearing family, and forbidden from reading novels, she finds solace in nature books. Her only other escape is the Blue Castle, an imaginary palace where she can live the life she truly desires. When she receives a sudden, life-changing medical diagnosis, Valancy embraces a new-found freedom. It's time to finally start living. And, perhaps, even find love. Set in the Muskoka region of Ontario, The Blue Castle is full of heart, humour, and romance, and stands the test of time as one of L. M. Montgomery's most beloved books.
