Blue Castle - A Spanish castle "where Valancy had lived spirituallyÂ…ever since she could remember." "Everything wonderful and beautiful was in that castle." "All that supported her through the boredom of her days was the hope of going on a dream spree at night." Valancy imagines many lovers here who changed as she outgrew them.
His tremendous beard, falling down over his blue flannel shirt, was still a flaming, untouched red, though his shock of hair was white as snow, and his eyes were a fiery, youthful blue.
She has an escape from her life in her imaginary Blue Castle and in John Foster's nature novels.

 Rediscovering The Blue Castle
The Blue Castle was Montgomery's first novel aimed at adults, which enabled her to tackle such controversial issues as Cecilia's out-of-wedlock pregnancy, Abel Gay's alcoholism, and Valancy's own sexual desire, more than she did in her children's novels.
Though The Blue Castle is unabashedly sentimental, it is never mawkish; Montgomery's acid sense of humor is given freer reign here than in any of her other books.
The Blue Castle is a fierce, wickedly funny, and ultimately healing fairy tale, and like a fairy tale, readers keep returning to it again and again, recapturing the magic.

 Amazon.ca: The Ladies of Missalonghi: Books: Colleen Mccullough   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Set in the early 1900s in the tiny town of Byron, nestled in the Australia's Blue Mountains, it tells of the blossoming of Missy Wright, 33-year-old spinster and poor relation of the town's ruling family, the Hurlingfords.
Missy, her widowed mother and crippled aunt live in genteel poverty, victims of the Hurlingford inheritance policy that gives riches and power to the male members of the family, who heartlessly abuse the women they dominate.
The characters that were so beautifully rendered and human in The Blue Castle are shallow and one dimentional in the Ladies of Missalonghi.

 Blue Cave Castle review - Negril, Jamaica

The Blue Castle by contrast is an exercise in general satire.
Their friendship is apparent to all the world and I believe that Valancy is one of the most mature and lovable heroines ever created by LM Montgomery.
he Blue Castle was written by L. Montgomery in 1926 and each time I read it, I reflect that it is a pity that The Blue Castle still remains one of LM Montgomery's most obscure novels.

On the steep mountain trails around her Blue Castle only gaily caparisoned steeds might proudly pace; in real life Valancy would have been quite contented to drive in a buggy behind a nice horse.
In her Blue Castle exciting epistles, bound with silk and sealed with crimson, were always being brought to her by pages in livery of gold and blue, but in real life her only letters were occasional perfunctory notes from relatives or an advertising circular.
Glorious open fires blazed in every room of her Blue Castle when autumnal nights were cool, but she would have frozen to death in it before she would have committed the sacrilege of a gas-log.

The Blue Castle is a 1926 novel by Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery, best known for her novel Anne of Green Gables (1908).

The Blue Castle is just proof of why L.M. Montgomery's books have been popular and celebrated for so long.
Having read Montgomery's "Anne" books, and enjoying the naturalness of her characters there, I was surprised and disappointed at the one-dimensional "cardboardness" of the people who appeared in "The Blue Castle".
Unlike most of Montgomery's other books, the main character in Blue Castle, Valancy Stirling, is much older - the story starts off the day before her 29th birthday.

 L.M. Montgomery's Personal Scrapbooks and Book Covers - Book Covers - The Blue Castle
The Blue Castle (1926) The only one of Montgomery's novels not set wholly or in part on Prince Edward Island, this story grew out of a day dream Montgomery conjured while on vacation in 1922 in the woods-and-lakeland community of Bala in the Muskoka area of Ontario.
Much of the book deals with nature descriptions and the inspiring, poetic writing of naturalist John Foster.
Notice how the book covers focus on the fantasy "blue castle" of Valancy's day dreams rather than on her heightened, liberated awareness of the Muskoka "upback."
