| Other information |
This book cover is significant in that it is a first edition of an older book by the author, and the first visual representation of her character Vicky Austin and Vicky's siblings. Vicky is the most frequently-appearing major character in the L'Engle corpus, and has been depeicted in a variety of ways. This edition is also notable for its omission of a controversial chapter which was later published separately, and later still appeared in a new hardcover edition, as discussed in the article. |
