A Wrinkle in Time
A Wind in the Door
A Swiftly Tilting Planet
Many Waters
By Madeleine L'Engle
So just like I said, I decided to read some of MLE's books. There is one more in this series, "An Acceptable Time", but I didn't know about it because it wasn't in our library" I decided to skip it for now.
MLE has a good imagination, an affinity to science, and a strong Christian belief. These books focus on a family, the Murrays, and their adventures through time and space. My favorite one was "A Swiftly Tilting Planet", which was a son's journey through time, in an attempt to change history for the better. It was challenging to follow all the characters, and I like that. The last one I read, "Many Waters" was also not in our library, so I had to get it through an inter-library loan, and although I am not accusing our librarian of censorship, I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't a deliberate oversight, because it wasn't quite what I would consider children's literature. It wasn't that bad, but some of the content was just a little surprising.
I went to a Master Gardeners Conference last weekend, which filled me with enthusiasm to get back outdoors, and it has been lovely weather and so the books I am reading at the moment are gardening books. In other words, I don't know when I will blog again.
Could be fall.....lol!
Until Next Time ;o)
A WIND IN THE DOOR is my favorite of the three. Also, you missed ARM OF THE STARFISH. I loved that one too.
