Product Details

First published in 1926, The Blue Castle is one of Montgomery’s few adult novels, and the only one set entirely outside of Prince Edward Island. Montgomery scholar Carolyn Strom Collins provides a transcription of the text and notes from Montgomery’s handwritten manuscript, showing how they were integrated to form the published novel. (Major changes include changing the inspiring main character’s name from Miranda to Valancy, and Barney’s beloved cat from Jigglesqueak to Banjo.)

Blue Castle Manuscript

Good quality book and great historical information regarding LMM which I will use on my upcoming trip to PEI. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize this had all the cross outs and edits…within the text which is interesting but not easy to read. My error. Guess I’ll be buying the actual book now and hope to be able to review the “actual” book.📚
