The King Homestead, located in Carlisle, P. E. I., is the setting for The Story Girl and The Golden Road. It is inhabited by Uncle Alec King, Aunt Janet King, Dan King, Felicity King, and Cecily King. The farm is steeped in family history. "There was a rare breeze from the south blowing to meet us; the shadows of the spruces were long and clear-cut; the exquisite skies of early morning, blue and wind-winnowed, were over us; away to the west, beyond the brook field, was a long valley and a hill purple with firs and laced with still leafless beeches and maples.
