Rediscover an American classic with this special deluxe edition of
the Newbery Award-winning children's series-starring the iconic
time traveling heroine, Meg Murry This Library of America volume
presents Madeleine L'Engle's iconic classic A Wrinkle in Time, one
of the most beloved and influential novels for young readers ever
written, in a newly-prepared authoritative text and, as a special
feature, it includes never-before-seen deleted passages from the
novel in an appendix. L'Engle's unforgettable heroine, Meg Murry,
must confront her fears and self-doubt to rescue her scientist
father, who has been experimenting with mysterious tesseracts
capable of bending the very fabric of space and time. Helping her
are her little brother Charles Wallace and her friend Calvin
O'Keefe, and a trio of strange supernatural visitors called Mrs.
Whatsit, Mrs. Who, and Mrs. Which. But A Wrinkle in Time was only
the beginning of the adventure. Seven other Kairos ("cosmic time")
novels followed, collected for the first time in a deluxe two
volume collector's boxed set. This first volume gathers Wrinkle
with three books that chronicle the continuing adventures of Meg
and her siblings. In A Wind in the Door, Meg and Calvin descend
into the microverse to save Charles Wallace from the Echthroi, evil
beings who are trying to unname existence. When a madman threatens
nuclear war in A Swiftly Tilting Planet, Charles Wallace must save
the future by traveling into the past. And in Many Waters, Sandy
and Dennys, Meg's twin brothers, are accidentally transported back
to the time of Noah's ark. A companion volume gathers the final
four Kairos Novels, the Polly O'Keefe quartet, in which Calvin and
Meg's daughter takes center stage. LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an
independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to
preserve our nation's literary heritage by publishing, and keeping
permanently in print, America's best and most significant writing.
The Library of America series includes more than 300 volumes to
date, authoritative editions that average 1,000 pages in length,
