About This Item
In beautiful shape: tight, square, uncreased spine; clean, unmarked interior. Only very gentle shelf-wear. According to cover artist Leo Dillon's New York Times obituary, he and his wife Diane's collaborative process involved a 'negotiation' with an elusive third party: 'After sufficient back-and-forth, and sufficient spirited argument, the resulting image appeared, they often said, to have been the work of an unseen but very much present third party, whom they called "It."' This trade paperback features a cover that meets and matcesh the imagination of L'Engle's Time series (IT, weirdly enough, is also the name of the techno-authoritarian creature whom the Murry family battles in A Wrinkle in Time), ingeniously combining elements of art nouveau, scientific illustration, and eschatological imagery. 211 pp.

It is the first in L'Engle's series of books about the Murry and O'Keefe families.

Great read for a kid, adult, or anyone who hasn't lost their sense of mystery and adventure. What if? What if time travel were as easy as L'Engle proposes? I still look for Mrs. Whatsit to point me in the right direction.
