Review:
"Complex concepts of space and time are handled well for young readers, and the author creates a suspenseful, life-and-death drama that is believably of cosmic significance. Complex and rich in mystical religious insights, this is breathtaking entertainment." --Starred, "School Library Journal "

Madeleine L'Engle (1918-2007) was the Newbery Medal-winning author of more than 60 books, including the much-loved A Wrinkle in Time. Born in 1918, L'Engle grew up in New York City, Switzerland, South Carolina and Massachusetts. Her father was a reporter and her mother had studied to be a pianist, and their house was always full of musicians and theater people. L'Engle graduated cum laude from Smith College, then returned to New York to work in the theater. While touring with a play, she wrote her first book, The Small Rain, originally published in 1945. She met her future husband, Hugh Franklin, when they both appeared in The Cherry Orchard.
Upon becoming Mrs. Franklin, L'Engle gave up the stage in favor of the typewriter. In the years her three children were growing up, she wrote four more novels. Hugh Franklin temporarily retired from the theater, and the family moved to western Connecticut and for ten years ran a general store. Her book Meet the Austins, an American Library Association Notable Children's Book of 1960, was based on this experience.
Her science fantasy classic A Wrinkle in Time was awarded the 1963 Newbery Medal. Two companion novels, A Wind in the Door and A Swiftly Tilting Planet (a Newbery Honor book), complete what has come to be known as The Time Trilogy, a series that continues to grow in popularity with a new generation of readers. Her 1980 book A Ring of Endless Light won the Newbery Honor. L'Engle passed away in 2007 in Litchfield, Connecticut.

Book Description Hard Cover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First British Edition. 197 pages. 410 grams. This book is in good ex-library condition with associated markings and attachments. The dust jacket is in good condition. Dust jacket condition preserved within new clear plastic non-adhesive removable protective covering. 'Meg's younger brother Charels Wallace doesn't seem to fit in anywhere. He's far too bright and outspoken. And at school, instead of making friends, he gets black eyes. It's little wonder that Meg thinks he is imagining things when he tells her about the dragon in the back garden. In fact, it isn't a dragon but a being from galactic space with unimagined powers, accompanied by a very tall stranger who tells Charles and Meg and her friend Calvin that he has come to be their Teacher. He cannot tell them what they must learn but only that there will be three trials to pass, and the first of these they must discover for themselves. It sounds like an impossible adventure to Meg, and it is not until Charles Wallace's life is in danger that she begins to understand the magnitude of their third ordeal, and realizes that the balance of the universe is at stake. Fantasy and reality are blended in a story that is taut with excitement, and though it stretches beyond the borders of everyday experience it is utterly believable.' 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
