By: Madeleine L'Engle

In honor of Madeleine L'Engle's 100th Birthday, fans are invited to enjoy this archival audiobook, originally recorded in 1993 and newly restored! Listen to the voice of the author, as Madeleine L'Engle reads her Newbery Medal-winning novel, A Wrinkle in Time.

Meg Murry, her little brother Charles Wallace, and their mother are having a midnight snack on a dark and stormy night when an unearthly stranger appears at their door. He claims to have been blown off course, and goes on to tell them that there is such a thing as a "tesseract," which, if you didn't know, is a wrinkle in time. Meg's father had been experimenting with time-travel when he suddenly disappeared. Will Meg, Charles Wallace, and their friend Calvin outwit the forces of evil as they search through space for their father?

Bridging science and fantasy, darkness and light, fear and friendship, the story has become a classic of children's literature and is beloved around the world.

A Wrinkle in Time is the first book in The Time Quintet, which consists of A Wrinkle in Time, A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, Many Waters, and An Acceptable Time.

A Stellar Performance

Finding this book on Audible is a dream come true. Such a treasure and pleasure to be able to hear the voice of the author reading her best book. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Author as the narrator

Loved hearing the author narrate her classic breakthrough book! Timeless and inspiring.
A story for any age.

Great story!

Narration perhaps not the best, but love the story. Read it to our children when they were young and I enjoyed listening to it for myself. I would say it is a story about the strength of love.

Good in every dimension

This is my favorite book of all time read by the author herself. Timeless!

Imagination Triggered

Yes to this very day imagination is a gift. The reading performance is spectacular!
