Hear Madeleine read A WRINKLE IN TIME, A WIND IN THE DOOR, and A SWIFTLY TILTING PLANET

Dear Ones,

Listening to Madeleine L’Engle read A Wrinkle in Time is nothing short of captivating.

Hear for yourself: It was a dark and stormy night, she begins, with not an ounce of sentimentality. Hooking the listener with her passionate cadence in this opening scene, the audio narration continues: 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. When Meg shakes, I shook, sensing the storm that opens A Wrinkle in Time.
