Madeleine L'Engle's series has often been overlooked and downplayed in this time of Harry Potter and Narnia, but the spirit and energy are still there and captured in this EXCELLENT Boxset!
Not just for youngsters... (2008-06-30)
This set of 5 fantastic and interwoven tales (each of which stands upright and satisfyingly complete on it's own) really is for any age from about 10 up if you're interested in high quality, thoughtful writing, broad spectrum plots with well-drawn, complex, believeable characters and, genuine Meaning (without a mallet!) everywhere you look..... I am 62 and over the years I have read every one of these at least twice....(personal favorite is Many Waters)......Enjoy!...
Wonderful collection (2008-06-05)
This is an excellent series. The author has a wonderful imagination. I would definately recomend this series of books. Is recomended for about 9 and up I believe, but is an excellent story for any age group.
Good for another generation! (2008-05-04)
The first book in this series, A Wrinkle in Time, was my favorite book as a young girl. I bought this for my very bright 12 yr old son recently. After reading it, he told me that it may be the best he has read & he reads extensively (including all the Potters)! We are anxious to get on with the others as I never read them when I was young!
