One of my all-time favorites when I was a kid. A very sad day.
:O
I was tearing up here in the office. :-S I still have my dogeared copy of A Wrinkle in Time, and I remember making my mom drive me into town for a special trip back to the library to check out the rest of the books. I have been meaning to complete my set for a while now, but just never got around to it. As soon as I’m off work today I’m heading over to the used bookstore to pick up the rest of the books.
