From today's NPR story on the 50th anniversary of the publication of Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time:
Despite considerable misgivings, Farrar, Straus and Giroux bought the book. They sent it to an outside reader, who called it "the worst book I have ever read."The story is worth a listen just to hear L'Engle reading from the text. Not to mention her granddaughter's recollections about her grandmother and the book.
FSG has issued a commemorative edition with a new cover based on the original, which was designed by Ellen Raskin:

One of my top absolute favorites, ever since my mom read it to me eons ago. We had a paperback with the blue cover. In conclusion, forget you, jerky outside reader!
