There are a significant number of spelling amendments, for example the addition of an 's' to 'math' and an 'u' to 'colored', but also adaptations to make the book more readable like the use of 'form mistress' for 'teacher' and the consideration of whether 'the planetary people for Eng. ed. shd. not use American speech.'

First printing of the book that helped make science fiction stories for children mainstream. A journey to a fantastical land full of epic battles and philosophical musing, A WRINKLE IN TIME reads in many ways like an updated, science-based spin on the Narnia series. While Heinlein and others published science fiction for young adults before this, L'Engle popularized it among elementary-age titles. Initially, L'Engle had a difficult time getting it published: "After trying 'forty-odd' publishers (L'Engle later said 'twenty-six rejections'), L'Engle's agent returned the manuscript to her. Then at Christmas, L'Engle threw a tea party for her mother. One of the guests happened to know John Farrar of Farrar, Straus & Giroux, and insisted that L'Engle should meet with him. Although the publisher did not at the time publish a line of children's books, Farrar met L'Engle, liked the novel and ultimately published it" (Random House).
