L'Engle's genre-crossing work - science fiction, horror, children's - has long captivated audiences. Indeed, it is hard to imagine another book adapted into a film (not, alas, a box-office hit) some fifty-five years after its publication. This lovely twenty-fifth-anniversary edition in red cloth and a slip-case was limited to 500 copies (of which this is 74) signed by L'Engle. Fine.

Inscription reads: "For Marian Foster - best wishes for successful tessering - Madeleine L'Engle." A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle was first published by Farrar, Straus and Cudahy in 1962 after being rejected by at least 26 publishers, many of whom felt the book was too complex or controversial for children's literature. Despite the initial skepticism, the novel quickly gained acclaim, winning the prestigious Newbery Medal in 1963. (Anatomy of Wonder II, 662).
