The following excerpt on giving books titles comes from Madeleine L'Engle's wonderful book "Circle of Quiet"
The title of a book is as important as one's right and proper signature on a check. A book may have a Library of Congress number, as a check may have that cybernetic salad, but a book, like Emily Bronte, like you, like me, must have its own name. Some books get born with names: The Arm of the Starfish, The Young Unicorns. We had to search for the proper name for A Wrinkle in Time, and it was my mother who came up with it, during a night of insomnia. I went into her room with a cup of coffee in the morning, and she said, "I think I have a title for your book, and it's right out of the text: A Wrinkle in Time." Of course! It's perfect.Posted by sheila
