About the Author
Madeleine L’Engle (1918–2007) was born in New York City and attended Smith College. She wrote more than 60 books, the most famous of which is A Wrinkle In Time (1962), winner of the Newbery Award in 1963. L’Engle continued the story of the Murry family from A Wrinkle In Time with seven other novels (five of which are available as A Wrinkle In Time Quintent from Square Fish). She also wrote the famous series featuring the Austin family, beginning with the novel Meet The Austins (1960). L’Engle revisited the Austins four more times over the next three decades, concluding with Troubling a Star in 1994. The story of the Austins had some autobiographical elements, mirroring Madeleine’s life and the life of her family. Madeleine L’Engle’s last book, The Joys of Love, is a romantic, coming-of-age story she wrote back in the 1940s, that was recently published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

Dreamy Goodness,

This review is from: The Wrinkle in Time Quintet - Digest Size Boxed Set (Paperback)
It all started with L'Engle's classic children's tale A Wrinkle in Time. At the time, my curiousity was kindled because L'Engle's masterpiece was instrumental in an old lover's youth and I wished to familiarize myself with this muse of sorts. Years later, I bought A Wrinkle in Time and got hooked. Soon followed A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, and Many Waters. Before I knew it, I was immersed deeply in this fantastic, whimsical, and avant-garde series of children's adventures. It has been several months since my ardent travels through the Murry family's space and time travels concluded yet I feel just as excited as ever. The award-winning L'Engle has encompassed wonder, filial love, and adventure in the series which shall continue to resonate with kids across the globe for generations to come.

This review is from: The Wrinkle in Time Quintet - Digest Size Boxed Set (Paperback)
I had never read Madeleine L'engle's work before. Her stories are profound, so simply and poetically written. Her characters connect with all those inner parts of us that know we are more than what appears in our everyday lives. This amazing author shows us humanity taking the steps to being more fully human!

This review is from: The Wrinkle in Time Quintet - Digest Size Boxed Set (Paperback)
An excellent and thoughtful book to read with your children (ages 9+) or to read on your own (11+). A captivating and complex story of three children on the adventure of their lifetimes. Although this book is darker then most of what is being written now, it provides rich layers and textures that make it a timeless classic. Beautiful and moving.
