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 and were waiting, without knowing it, for this.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, period references, and fairy-tale allusions- A Reader's Guide with discussion questions for book clubs and solo readers- A concise Montgomery timelineA short life lived fully, Valancy decides, is worth more than a long one spent obeying.
