L'Engle's uncommon second novel, following The Small Rain in 1945. The book is atypical of L'Engle's work, containing few crossover characters, lacking major themes of family overcoming adversity, etc., and was not reprinted until 2018. This is a particularly striking copy in bright jacket, and scarce thus. Item #5323
Price: $500.00
