A Wrinkle in Time - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I know we already have a thread for books but I bought a newer copy of this yesterday, since my other version is getting a bit tatty and have been reading it again (I'm on the second chapter at the moment.) Once again I've been caught by its spell.

Madeleine L'Engle is one of my favourite writers. I feel she has such a gentle writing style and I love how mystical a lot of her books are. A Wrinkle in Time may even be my favourite novel. I first received it at the age of 11 but didn't read it properly until I was about 14 and I fell in love with it.

I believe it's supposed to be well-regarded in America. Madeleine L'Engle isn't well-known in Britain, which is a shame as I believe she wrote great novels for children and teens (I haven't read any of her adult novels.)

Does anyone else share an appreciation for this book?

I've never heard of it, but I appreciate the information! I'm always looking for great stuff to read!

Who were your favourite characters in the novels, Chocolate Moose?

I suppose my two favourites would be Calvin and Charles Wallace. I also really like Meg and I'm fond of the twins, Sandy and Dennys. I also thought the Mrs Ws from A Wrinkle in Time were great.
