那是個風雨交加的黑夜,瑪格‧穆莉跟她弟弟查理士還有媽媽一起下樓到廚房去吃宵夜,可是這時卻來了一位十分擾人的陌生訪客。神秘的陌生訪客跟他們說:「狂風暴雨的夜晚是我的驕傲,不過我剛被捲入下降氣流,被吹離航道,讓我坐一會兒,然後我就會啟程離開,說到航道,順道一提,有種東西叫做四維超立方體。」為避免讀者不清楚,特此說明一下,四維超立方體就是時間的皺摺,不過要是再說更多,恐怕就會破壞讀者閱讀朗格朗小姐這本奇幻小說的樂趣了。
本書於 1963 年獲得紐伯瑞金牌獎,內容講述瑪格、查理士跟克文(他是運動員、學生,也是學校裡最受歡迎的男生)三人在空間與時間中的歷險故事。他們要去尋找瑪格的父親,瑪格的父親是個科學家,他為了替政府解決四維超立方體的問題,竟在參與秘密工作時消失了。
《時間的皺摺》出版於一九六二年,為科幻奇幻經典「時光五部曲」第一冊。「時光五部曲」以其遼闊的想像、深刻的寓意與詩意的美感,在兒童文學史上樹立不朽地位。每冊故事獨立,可分別閱讀。作者麥德琳.蘭歌說:「一本書也可以是一顆星星,一種爆裂物,能不停激發新的生命,一把照亮黑夜的熊熊火把,指引我們走向不斷擴大的宇宙。」正為這五部曲下了最好的註解。
It was a dark and stormy night; Meg Murry, her small brother Charles Wallace, and her mother had come down to the kitchen for a midnight snack when they were upset by the arrival of a most disturbing stranger."Wild nights are my glory," the unearthly stranger told them. "I just got caught in a downdraft and blown off course. Let me sit down for a moment, and then I'll be on my way. Speaking of ways, by the way, there is such a thing as a tesseract."A tesseract (in case the reader doesn't know) is a wrinkle in time. To tell more would rob the reader of the enjoyment of Miss L'Engle's unusual book.
A Wrinkle in Time, winner of the Newbery Medal in 1963, is the story of the adventures in space and time of Meg, Charles Wallace, and Calvin O'Keefe (athlete, student, and one of the most popular boys in high school). They are in search of Meg's father, a scientist who disappeared while engaged in secret work for the government on the tesseract problem.
