Valancy is rather meek, but resentful of how she is treated by her mother, aunt, and all her extended relations.īut then. She lives with her overbearing mother and aunt, and is bossed around almost as though she is a servant.
The Blue Castle, published in 1926, is the story of a dowdy young woman called Valancy Stirling. I’m glad I did, because it’s become a favourite book, and I re-read it every few years or so. I was familiar with her Anne of Green Gables series (which, naturally, I already owned), and other popular works. When I found The Blue Castle in a used book store decades ago, I’d never heard of that title by L.M. Used bookstore find: 1926’s The Blue Castle by L.M. But there’s one book I don’t think I’ll ever part with: The Blue Castle by Lucy Maud Montgomery. Having become overrun with books at home, I’ve divested myself of many of the classics I’d accumulated over the years. I don’t go into used book stores much these days, unless I’m looking for an out-of-print or otherwise hard-to-find book. At the time, I was keen on filling my bookshelves with handsomely-bound classics. Years ago, I used to love prowling around in used book stores.
