“You never know what peace is until you walk on the shores or in the fields or along the winding red roads of Prince Edward Island in a summer twilight when the dew is falling and the old stars are peeping out and the sea keeps its mighty tryst with the little land it loves. Unlike Montgomery’s other celebrated book series like Anne of Green Gables and Emily of New Moon, The Blue Castle, first published in 1926, has never been adapted into a film or TV series.

This book follows Anne from the age of 16 to 18, during the two years that she teaches at Avonlea school. Following Anne of Green Gables (1908), the book covers the second chapter in the life of Anne Shirley. Her writing has had an incredible impact on PEI’s tourism industry because it completely captures the charm and serenity that make the Island such a special place. Anne of Avonlea is a novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery. Nineteen of these novels are set in Prince Edward Island and beautifully incorporate the location as an essential character in each story’s plot. Montgomery published approximately 500 short stories and poems in addition to twenty novels. You can even visit Green Gables House, the very site that inspired the book. There are many places in PEI that are dedicated to Montgomery and her most well known character, Anne Shirley. The book’s popularity helped put PEI on the map as millions of fans began to visit the magical setting of their favourite novel.

When it was released in 1908, most readers were not even aware that Prince Edward Island was a real place. Montgomery achieved international fame with the publication of her novel Anne of Green Gables, which is set in Prince Edward Island.
