I’m not surprised to learn that this one’s showing its age. 60 years! And L’Engle was a devout Episcopalian and religion played a part in all her books. I liked it as a girl, but I suspect I’d be hard-pressed to find much enjoyable about it now. At that, I think I didn’t care for the sequels even at the time.
