While targeted at a younger audience, these books are quite extraordinary in terms of content and style, and can be enjoyed by anyone, just like Robert Heinlein's early books. The books in this quartet are adventures surrounding the unusual Murry family members, and manage to blend in everything from quantum physics to personal relations in an amazingly well-written and entertaining way. These stories blend fantasy, science, religion, myths and the general issues of daily family life in a very positive way, and are an enjoyable read no matter what your background or age may be. I happened to pick up A wrinkle in time from our bookshelf (it belonged to our kids), and was so impressed, I tracked down the rest of the books to read them, a genuine pleasure.
I am so grateful to have found this set as it was most influential as I was growing up. Thank You!!!

I bought this collection because these are my absolute favorite stories written by Madeleine L'Engle. I never get tired of these books and like to reread them every couple years. Easy to read, fit for children, but interesting for adults as well.
I loved these books as a child even though I had to wait for her to publish them and my son also enjoyed them, but he was able to get the whole sereis at one time! Fun reading!
