The Blue Castle

by Lucy Maud Montgomery

Overview

At twenty-nine Valancy had never been in love, and it seemed romance had passed her by. Living with her overbearing mother and meddlesome aunt, she found her only consolations in the "forbidden" books of John Foster and her daydreams of the Blue Castle. Then a letter arrived from Dr. Trent — and Valancy decided to throw caution to the winds. For the first time in her life Valancy did and said exactly what she wanted. Soon she discovered a surprising new world, full of love and adventures far beyond her most secret dreams.

Editorial Reviews

""A charming romance."" - Hull Daily Mail, 1926

""In The Blue Castle, we have a story that is ideal in its scheme and its execution. An alternative title would be ""Cinderella in Revolt,"" this said Cinderella being Valancy Stirling, heroine of the book and a girl who gives us new views of Canada and some of its dwellers. A book to read and keep."" - Sheffield Independent, 1926

""Those who have not acquainted themselves with the stories of the brilliant Canadian novelist should do so at once - her novels are full of human people with whom you can laugh and sigh."" - Hamilton Daily Times, 1913
