Synopsis
Fifty years ago, Madeleine L'Engle introduced the world to A Wrinkle in Time and the wonderful and unforgettable characters Meg and Charles Wallace Murry, and their friend Calvin O'Keefe. Now their first three adventures are together in one volume. In the Newbery Award winner A Wrinkle in Time, the children learn that Mr. Murry has been captured by the Dark Thing, and they must time travel to Camazotz to save him. In A Wind in the Door, Meg, Calvin and Mr. Jenkins (their grade school principal) must travel inside C.W. and battle to save Charles's life-as well as the balance of the universe. And in A Swiftly Tilting Planet, Meg's brother Charles Wallace has twenty-four hours to stop the tragedy of nuclear war from occurring. Read the iconic novels that continue to inspire millions of fans around the world.

Review
Praise for A Wrinkle in Time:
“A Wrinkle in Time is one of my favorite books of all time. I’ve read it so often, I know it by heart. Meg Murry was my hero growing up. I wanted glasses and braces and my parents to stick me in an attic bedroom. And I so wanted to save Charles Wallace from IT.” —Meg Cabot
“A book that every young person should read, a book that provides a road map for seeking knowledge and compassion even at the worst of times, a book to make the world a better place.” —Cory Doctorow
Praise for A Wind in the Door:
* “A suspenseful, life-and-death drama that is of believable cosmic significance. Complex and rich in mystical religious insights, this is breathtaking entertainment.” —School Library Journal, starred review
“Madeleine L’Engle mixes classical theology, contemporary family life, and futuristic science fiction to make a completely convincing tale that should put under its spell both readers familiar with the Murrys and those meeting them for the first time.” —The New York Times Book Review
Praise for A Swiftly Tilting Planet:
* “Charles Wallace, now fifteen, Meg, and the Murrys reappear in an intricately woven fantasy in which the boy time-spins through a tangle of history to find and mend the broken link that threatens to disturb the harmony of today. Theme is L’Engle’s greatest forte, and once again she proves this with a compelling plot, rich in style that vibrates with provocative thoughts on universal love, individual caring, and the need for the joy in living.” —Booklist, starred review

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 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. Signed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # 000798
