This is an opinion--not a question. Of course, anyone may argue with my opinion.
Perhaps "Wrinkle" was rejected by 28/9 editors because they objected to pulling the tablecloth from under the settings: L'Engel went into the story via science fiction but came out via Christianity. That is really pulling a fast one on readers. That the librarians of that generation selected it as a Newby is interesting. Some day I must see what else was published that year and who chaired Newby/Caldy then. Alas, the Newby freed her to write longer and more prolix books with more cardboard characters over the next decades.
And yes, it does fit into the great discussion with Leonard Marcus and his interrogators.
