The cozy classic a new generation is rediscovering — from the author of Anne of Green Gables.

At twenty-nine, Valancy Stirling has never been loved, never been free, and never once spent a night away from the joyless house where her clan of aunts and uncles rules her life. Her only escape is a castle she has built inside her own mind. Then a single letter changes everything, and Valancy does the one thing no one who knows her could imagine: she begins to live.

First published in 1926, The Blue Castle is L. M. Montgomery's radiant novel for adults — the only book she set entirely away from Prince Edward Island, in the pine-and-water wilderness of Ontario's Muskoka. Witty, tender, and quietly radical, it has become a treasured comfort read passed hand to hand by readers who grew up on Anne.

This Annotated Edition includes:

• The complete 1926 novel, all forty-five chapters, freshly typeset
• An original introduction on Montgomery's one great adult novel and its modern revival
• Notes on the Text decoding the real Muskoka places and period references
• A Reader's Guide with discussion questions for book clubs
• A concise Montgomery timeline

A short life lived fully, Valancy decides, is worth more than a long one spent obeying.
