"Life, with its rules, its obligations, and its freedoms, is like a sonnet: You're given the form, but you have to write the sonnet yourself."  - Mrs. Whatsit


Here we offer the first retail trade edition, stated third printing, of Madeleine L'Engle's Newberry Award-winning classic novel, A Wrinkle in Time, published by Ariel Books for Farrar, Straus and Company, New York in 1963. The book comes wrapped in the highest quality facsimile of the first edition dust jacket you can only get here, digitally remastered and printed on coated heavyweight bond. The polymer coating on the paper ensures the brightest colors and sharpest prints, as the ink sits atop the paper rather than being absorbed into the fibers.

Lightly edgeworn and soiled boards are sunned at spine (please see pics). Intact front endpapers have several rubber-stamped impressions. Lightly-stained introductory pages; very tight and square binding, very clean, bright, and crisp text. The dust jacket comes secure in its ph-neutral mylar sleeve and ready to slip into your collection. 211 pages. The book measures approximately 8.5 x 6-inches.

This icon of children's literature will make a wonderful addition to your firsts collection or a very thoughtful gift.
