Podcast #051

For my fifty-first Dream Gardens kid lit podcast, I interviewed author and illustrator C. L. Fails about the classic children’s novel A Wrinkle in Time  by Madeleine L’Engle.

Originally published in 1962, A Wrinkle in Time tells the story of Meg and her brother Charles Wallace and their encounter with three strange woman named Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who, and Mrs. Which. But these are no ordinary women, and they will take Meg and her brother on a journey across time and space to find their missing father and, with any luck, save the world. A classic fantasy sci-fi adventure novel of a battle between good and evil, as well as a journey of self-discovery, A Wrinkle in Time, as well as the four other books in what is known as the Time Quintet, has remained a favorite for many generations.
