All three volumes inscribed and signed by Madeleine L'Engle on the free front end papers. "A Wrinkle in Time" in NF- condition with one dogeared page, and light shelf and edge wear; jacket VG+ to NF- with edge wear to head and foot of spine, and light scratching and creasing. "A Swiftly Tilting Planet" in NF- condition with light edge wear to head and foot of backstrap and faint soiling on top and outer edge. Barely discernible evidence of moisture at foot of spine- found it due to the inside of the jacket. Jacket VG due to moisture stain at foot of spine 3/8" high off the bottom edge- about 2 1/2" long, centering on the spine. Otherwise, just some minor edge wear. "A Wind in the Door" in NF condition with edge wear to top corners and head and foot of the backstrap. Very faint evidence of water damage to outer foot of backstrap- mainly in a slight lightening of the black dye on the cloth. Jacket has almost identical water stain in the same spot as "A Swiftly Tilting Planet"; otherwise would be Fine. The slipcase itself is still solid, though the front edges are damaged near the top, and there is cracking of the exterior finish along the bottom back edge. Plus the standard rubbing and light scratching.

later ediiton. 211; 278; 211pp. Three octavo volumes in black cloth over boards with silver gilt and rules to the spine and blindstamped Pegasus to the front cover. Black slipcase with white and light blue text on both sides. "A Wrinkle in Time" is inscribed by L'Engle on the title page. All three volumes are later printings and in comparable condition. None of the jackets price-clipped. The dust jacket for "Wrinkle" has some light loss to the head and base of the spine; a triangular chip to the bottom of the front panel, as well as the Newberry sticker, as published. Attractively boxed set of this fantasy classic with Madeline L'Engle's signature and "tesser well" inscription.

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).
