Cover picture from here. This is the cover I grew up with, and I spent many a few minutes as a wee one gazing at Mrs Whatsit's face. I don't know, I was really into lavender centaurs at the time. Don't judge.

OKAY. Hello. This is the Wrinkle In Time by Madeline L'Engle post I promised you.

It was triggered by today's realization thanks to this graphic.

I did not realize they had travelled in time. For some reason I thought it was another planet full of humans who did human things. Because I watched too much Star Trek: Original Series as a kid and that made perfect sense. They could have gone to Romans and I would have been all 'awesome, another planet!'.

Because, you know, I forgot that the title had the word time in it. I HAVE BEEN MISLED.

So by this point, you may be gathering I was a little confused by A Wrinkle in Time. You would not be incorrect in this. I mean, I really liked the book, and I felt like I followed it alright, but when I put it down I paused and went: "Wait. What?"

Some parts were hella easy. I mean, I got the space angels, I got the former star thing, and I got Aunt Beast's people. I really liked Aunt Beast, by the way. That was lovely. And the flying on the space angel was nifty.

Although, now that I know it was time travel, it sort of makes more sense, the other par-- no, I'm lying. I'm totally lying.

Good book though. I enjoyed every confusing moment. I'm also naming my baseball team composed of psychic five year olds the Charles Wallaces. That idea is (c) Ann Larimer.

PS: Looking for the picture for this post, deeply confused why so many have a pegasus on the front. MRS WHATSIT HAD A MAN FACE, PEOPLE. My god.
