This well-loved copy of Madeleine L’Engle’s seminal science fantasy novel “A Wrinkle in Time” is a testament to its enduring popularity and impact. First published in 1962, it broke new ground in children’s literature with its blending of science, philosophy, and adventure. L’Engle’s imaginative tale of a young girl’s journey through space and time to rescue her father has captivated generations of readers with its exploration of complex themes like good vs. evil, conformity, and the power of love.
Despite initial rejection by publishers who deemed it too complex for children, “A Wrinkle in Time” went on to win the prestigious Newbery Medal and has never gone out of print. Its influence can be seen in countless works of speculative fiction that followed, and its message of individuality and courage in the face of darkness continues to resonate. This 37th printing from 1978 predates the book’s surge in popularity following the 2003 release of the film adaptation, making it a desirable edition for collectors. Though well-read, its sturdy binding and clean pages ensure it can be enjoyed by many more readers seeking a portal to L’Engle’s timeless, mind-bending adventure.
