The parable doesn't become evident until the final volume, but there it is striking.



I agree with hev, below. It seemed pretty obvious to me from the beginning. Also, he made a point of jibing agnostics and parents who allow their children to call them by their first names in the very beginning.

OTOH, I was old enough by the time I read them that I might have gotten a heads up on the content. I really don't remember.

I agree on the general point of writers (or anyone else) trying to make an end run around a parent's wishes, but you know I read A Wrinkle in Time to my kids and caught religious references that I did not catch when the book was read to me by a fourth grade substitute teacher. It's not real obvious that the religious overtones are as accessible to children as they are to adults.
