patgundObituaries: Esther Mitgang; Madeleine L’Engle
"Author Madeleine L’Engle died last night in Connecticut, at the age of 89. Best known for her 1963 Newbery Award winner A Wrinkle in Time and its sequels, L’Engle was the author of more than 60 books for adults and young readers, most of which were published by FSG. This spring, the Square Fish imprint of Holtzbrinck reissued L'Engle's Time Quintet in new editions."
*Sigh* A childhood favorite has passed on.
While I admit I lost some respect for L'Engle in 1999 when she ghost-wrote the book "She Said Yes: The Unlikely Martyrdom of Cassie Bernall", (which promoted the known lie that Cassie Bernall was supposely "martyred" for her faith in Columbine), I still loved - and reread to this day - the "Time" Quartet.
Rest in peace.
