Madeleine L’Engle died last Thursday at the age of 88. She was probably best known for her book A Wrinkle in Time, part of the Time Quartet Series and winner of the 1963 John Newbery Medal. Madeleine L’Engle is remembered not only for the children’s classics that she wrote, but also for her poetry, plays and books on prayer. Madeleine L’Engle herself described why she wrote: ”Why does anybody tell a story?” she once asked, even though she knew the answer.”It does indeed have something to do with faith,” she said, “faith that the universe has meaning, that our little human lives are not irrelevant, that what we choose or say or do matters, matters cosmically.” She will be missed.
