The story takes place in the early 1920s in the fictional town of Deerwood, located in the Muskoka region of Ontario, Canada. Deerwood is based on Bala, Ontario, which Montgomery visited in 1922. Maps of the two towns show similarities. This novel is considered one of L.M. Montgomery's few adult works of fiction, along with A Tangled Web, and is the only book she wrote that is entirely set outside of Prince Edward Island. It has grown in popularity since being republished in 1990. The book was adapted for the stage twice; in 1982 it was made into a successful Polish musical and ten years later Canadian playwright Hank Stinson authored another version, The Blue Castle: A Musical Love Story.

Autorenporträt
Autora da famosa série da personagem Anne Shirley, Lucy Maud Montgomery nasceu em 30 de novembro de 1874, em Clifton, na Ilha do Príncipe Edward, Canadá. Viveu com seus avós maternos até os 7 anos, idade em que passou a morar com o pai. No ano de 1911, casou-se com o reverendo Ewen Macdonald e mudou-se para Leaksdale, em Ontário, cidade onde nasceram seus três filhos e ela escreveu diversos de seus livros. Apesar de viver no continente, as paisagens da Ilha e as aventuras que viveu lá quando criança serviram de grande inspiração para suas obras, especialmente a série Anne. Lucy faleceu em 24 de abril de 1942.
