From 1963, when her best-known novel, A Wrinkle in Time, won the Newberry Medal, Madeleine L'Engle was in the public eye, everything she wrote sold well and she was in constant demand to give speeches, write prefaces, advise and encourage younger writers. This book is an attempt to stimulate intellectual discussion about all L'Engle's work and to show that the vast majority of her writings are worthy of interest.
