  "The Blue Castle" is one of the few books author L.M. Montgomery (author of the "Anne of Green Gables" series) wrote for an adult audience. It is a romantic novel set in early 20th-century Ontario, Canada, that follows the emotional and romantic awakening of Valancy Stirling, a 29-year-old spinster trapped in a stifling, judgmental family. Valancy appears trapped, living a dull, joyless life while her relatives order her about. Her only escape is her imagination, where she dreams of a beautiful place she calls the Blue Castle-a symbol of freedom, love, and happiness.   
  Valancy's life changes dramatically when she is diagnosed with a fatal heart condition. Believing she has only a short time to live, she decides to cast off her family's control and live authentically for the first time. She leaves home to care for Cissy Gay, a dying young woman shunned by society, and befriends Barney Snaith, a mysterious man with a scandalous reputation.   
  Written in 1926 and received with rapturous reviews, "The Blue Castle" is presented here in its original and unabridged format and narrated by renowned audiobook performer Sara Nichols, best known for her readings of Willa Cather's "Prairie Trilogy," Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre" and Jane Austen's entire collection.

  Throughout the long centuries of human history is the want, and the need, to share information, to exchange ideas and for that knowledge and experience, for curiosity and learning, to be the basis of a civil society. 
  In literature the ambition is much narrower.  In order to be known, to be popular, you had to be published.  And for that people had to know you existed and your ideas worth reading.  Obviously for most of humanity’s time people couldn’t read and texts couldn’t be published in any great number. 
  In the 15th Century Gutenberg’s printing press began the revolution to address the second and by the 19th century had gathered pace with startling speed and mass distribution.  Education for the many was brought in to help people understand more of their world and, with new skills, how to have a better place within it.  Now, if the powers that owned the presses and means of distribution agreed an audience would now be able to avail themselves of your ideas, your printed words.  
  Sadly, in the thirst for the new, the recent and the past fell from sight, relegated to dark corners and dusty shelves.   
  But the printed word is rarely without someone, somewhere busying themselves through piles of papers and books rediscovering what a good story is, whatever its age.

  In this volume we offer up a small selection of those talents whose time has now come again.
