A WRINKLE IN TIME

By Madeline L’Engle


"It was a dark and stormy night in a small village in the United States.
In her attic bedroom Margaret Murry, wrapped in an old patchwork quilt, sat on the foot of her bed and watched the trees tossing in the frenzied lashing of the wind. Behind the trees, clouds scudded frantically across the sky. Every few moments the moon ripped through them, creating wraith-like shadows that raced across the ground. The house shook."
