A Wrinkle in Time Will Be Another Tomorrow Land: Celebrating a Beloved Classic'

In recent years, we've seen a resurgence of interest in beloved classics from our childhoods. Among these is Madeleine L'Engle's timeless tale, 'A Wrinkle in Time.' The 2018 film adaptation, directed by Ava DuVernay and starring Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, Mindy Kaling, and Storm Reid, brought this iconic story to a new generation of audiences. But what makes 'A Wrinkle in Time' such an enduring classic? For one, its themes of female empowerment and the power of young readers are more relevant today than ever.

The book's publication history is just as fascinating as its content. Despite being rejected over a dozen times, L'Engle's novel was finally published thanks to the faith of its editor, who believed that children were capable of understanding complex ideas. And it paid off – 'A Wrinkle in Time' has gone on to sell over 10 million copies worldwide.

But 'A Wrinkle in Time' wasn't always a beloved classic. When it was first released in 1962, some readers found its mashup of science, space travel, and spirituality objectionable. In fact, it's been included on the American Library Association's Most Frequently Banned Books List for decades. Despite this, the book has won numerous awards, including the Newbery Medal in 1963 and a Lewis Carroll Shelf Award.

The novel's themes of female empowerment and non-conformity are just as relevant today as they were when the book was first published. The protagonist, Meg Murry, is a strong, stubborn, and independent young girl who refuses to conform to societal norms. Her story has inspired countless readers over the years, and it continues to do so today.

As we look back on the history of 'A Wrinkle in Time,' it's clear that this book will continue to be a beloved classic for generations to come. With its themes of female empowerment, non-conformity, and the power of young readers, it's no wonder that 'A Wrinkle in Time' has become a timeless tale that continues to captivate audiences today. As we celebrate the enduring legacy of this iconic novel, we're reminded that the possibilities are endless – and that with a little bit of imagination, anything can be achieved.
