the series originated with "a wrinkle in time", written in 1959 to 1960 and turned down by 26 publishers before farrar, straus and giroux finally published it in 1962. "a wrinkle in time" won the newbery medal and has sold over 6 million copies. the sequel, "a wind in the door", takes place the following year but was published over a decade later, in 1973. "a swiftly tilting planet", set ten years after "a wrinkle in time", followed in 1978. the fourth title of the quintet, "many waters", was published in 1986, but takes place several years before "a swiftly tilting planet". this is readily apparent from the fact that sandy and dennys murry are in high school as of "many waters", but refer to their college studies at the time of "a swiftly tilting planet"; and from meg's unmarried status as of "many waters". the final title in the series is "an acceptable time", published in 1989.
time quintet
before and during 1937, two paint companies, kay & ess and chadeloid chemical co., were in patent litigation with each other. each company claimed that it controlled the basic patents on wrinkle finish, and each company contended that the patents of the other could not be used without infringing its own patents. in november 1937 they decided to settle the litigation by forming a new, jointly–owned company, new wrinkle, to which they assigned their patents. they agreed that they would license the wrinkle–finish industry to make and sell at fixed prices. kay & ess and chadeloid then worked together to induce all manufacturers of wrinkle finish products to accept the price-fixing patent licenses from new wrinkle. the prospective licensees were assured that the other manufacturers were being dealt with on the same basis "in order to establish minimum prices throughout the industry." by september 1938 the leading manufacturing companies and some 200 other manufacturers—substantially all manufacturers of wrinkle finishes in the united states—held nearly identical ten-year extendable license agreements from new wrinkle, fixing prices. these license agreements required that a licensee observe in all sales of products covered by the licensed patents a schedule of minimum prices, discounts, and selling terms. unlike its organizers, kay & ess and chadeloid, new wrinkle does not manufacture and sell the patented products. it just owns and licenses the patents.
