A Wrinkle in Time *is* a classic fantasy book, but only unfazable and killjoy from the list would apply to the people in the book.

So far we know it's newer than Lord of the Rings and older than the Hyperion series, so between 1954 and 1989

This is what I meant by "classic" having no actual value as a descriptor.

Eh, it'd been like 20 years since I'd read it, I was just taking a stab at "fantasy literature with an assimilation plot".

i was trying to say that the world is not "classic fantasy", not that the book is not classic.
and yes, i agree that classic is useless word here.
