The 50th-Anniversary edition of A Wrinkle in Time proves once again that true classics are both timeless and limitless.  The story of Meg, Charles Wallace, and their friend Calvin venturing out into an unknown universe to rescue Mr. Murry from the clutches of the evil, disembodied brain of IT will still resonate  with its newest generation of readers.   This fascinating story of travel through time and space through the use of a tesseract is enhanced by the strength and beauty of its characters.  It seamlessly meshes science fiction, fantasy, faith, and the power of love to produce a compelling narrative that speaks to all readers.  This special edition contains the added bonuses of an introduction by Katherine Paterson, an afterword that offers insight and biographical information about the author by Charlotte Jones Voiiklis, granddaughter of L’Engle, an annotated chapter from the original manuscript, photographs and memorabilia, and L’Engle’s Newbery Award acceptance speech.
