Narrado por: Madeleine L'Engle

In honor of Madeleine L'Engle's 100th Birthday, fans are invited to enjoy this archival audiobook, originally recorded in 1994 and newly restored! Listen to the voice of the author, as Madeleine L'Engle reads A Wind in the Door.

Meg Murry can't help but be worried when her six-year-old brother announces there are dragons in the vegetable garden. He's so bright, and so different from other kids, he's getting bullied at school, and he is also strangely, seriously ill. But Charles Wallace is right about the dragons--actually a friendly entity who has come to help Charles Wallace fight his sickness, and to take Meg and her friend Calvin O'Keefe on a terrifying, wonderful journey into galactic space--where they must battle the force of evil to save Charles Wallace, and themselves.

A Wind in the Door is the second book in The Time Quintet, which consists of A Wrinkle in Time (a Newbery Medal winner), A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, Many Waters, and An Acceptable Time.

Loved this!

It is quite intriguing, though it is unfortunate that Progonosciss is no longer with us

Highly recommended!

Great archival version! The reading by the author is fantastic, and so authentic! Even if you have read this book, get this edition, as well!

awesome story

I never get tired of hearing Madeleine L'Engle read her own stories. I read them to my child when he was young, we listened to the cd's when he was a pre-teen and now I am enjoying them again in my empty nest years.

Outstanding metaphor for truth

Exciting. Imaginative. We are never too young nor too old to think again. Filled with truths.

Loved it ! ! ! ! I'm ready for the next one of this series.

Amazing!! A MUST & Scientifically 50 years ahead of time!

Highly Advise!! It’s so fascinating how accurate she was about mitochondria & quantum mechanics in the 1970’s. In 2022 Jewish National Health’s extensive Covid-Long Haulers study found that the fatigue, exhaustion

She posited this 50 years before science discovered how mitochondria are impacted by viruses… 50 YEARS! She quotes they didn’t think the especially endemic flu was a flu, but mitochondritis. Not only is the story fabulous, deep and fascinating.

“Mitochondrial dysfunction in long COVID: mechanisms, consequences, and potential therapeutic approaches”

“One of the hallmark symptoms of long COVID is chronic fatigue, which can be directly linked to deficits in mitochondrial ATP production. When mitochondrial function is compromised, ATP production is reduced, leading to energy deficits that manifest as profound and persistent fatigue [101, 102].” - National Institutes of Health….

“Role of Mitochondria in Viral Infections” - Published in 2021 - National Institutes of Health

“Viruses affect mitochondrial functions and impact mitochondrial metabolism, and innate immune signaling. Resurgence of host-virus interactions in recent literature emphasizes the key role of mitochondria and host metabolism on viral life processes. Mitochondrial dysfunction leads to damage of mitochondria that generate toxic compounds, importantly mitochondrial DNA, inducing systemic toxicity, leading to damage of multiple organs in the body. Mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy are essential for the maintenance of mitochondrial quality control

Glorious

The story captured my imagination and allowed me to suspend my disbelief enough to enjoy the world created by the author.
Well read by the author

sometimes books are just better without sequels

I'm with Meg I don't care no reason given constant mystery to the point of I didn't care either. The original wrinkle in Time is amazing fun I've read it many many times over the decades listen to it many times this I can't even get for the first few chapters and it's a short book I'm with Meg, I just don't care, it doesn't matter the book is so obtuse with its own subject matter that I just don't care if the main character is not given reason to care why should I listening in care here's a question for the Mr Jenkins setup how is it all three are okay with this whole situation with the logical one be the one who doesn't understand what's happening but no we're never explained why all three of them rather the one who is the real Mr Jenkins is totally cool with all this going on around him and if it's explained later it's much too late it's so frustrating to listen to pretty much each time Meg had an out burst of this just doesn't matter I was at that point as well except I have control and turned it off God bless this woman for writing such good books for kids like the magic in this one is long gone which is why the first one is held in such a high regard but you rarely hear of the others kind of scared to start number three or if I should even bother
