From what I recall, it's got A Wrinkle in Time, A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, and Many Waters. (And possibly another aside from those, I'm not sure.)

(a) I would love to hear what you think of them on re-read.

(b) The box sets really interest me as a way of structuring a series for people. I don't mean that sarcastically. I read A Wrinkle in Time on its own, then discovered and read one after the other A Wind in the Door and A Swiftly Tilting Planet, then Many Waters came out (about which I have profoundly mixed feelings as a midrash, but I really like the nephilim and the seraphim). I never clicked with any of the Austin or O'Keefe books, even though An Acceptable Time is sometimes classed with the original Murry books. They all had titles like The Young Unicorns and Dragons in the Waters and A Ring of Endless Light and never contained any of the numinous thereby suggested, although at least one of them did have a mind-controlling laser, which was weird enough that I have remembered it lo these decades despite also remembering that I didn't actually like it.
