tale that should put under its spell both readers familiar with the Murrys and those meeting them for the first time." In a 2012 essay for Tor.com, American author and critic Mari Ness wrote, "This is L'Engle at the height of her poetic powers, and the failure of this book to receive the same attention and fame as its predecessor is a genuine shame." Series notes The characters Meg, Charles Wallace, and Calvin first appeared in A Wrinkle in Time (1962, ). Unlike some of the other books in the series, A Wind in the Door focuses on the same three protagonists. They and their families collectively appear in a total of eight books, four about the Murry family (the Time Quartet) and four about the eldest of the O'Keefe children a generation later. The Time Quartet plus the last of the O'Keefe books, An Acceptable Time, are marketed as the Time Quintet. Audio adaptation A Listening Library edition on four audio cassettes, unabridged and read by the author, was issued in 1994. In January 2012, Listening Library released an audio CD version narrated by actress Jennifer Ehle.
