Madeleine L’Engle, author of A Wrinkle in Time, dies
One of my favourite authors had died.
…she is best known for A Wrinkle in Time, which won the 1963 Newbery Medal for excellence in children’s literature and has never been out of print since its publication.
The novel, which tells the story of an adolescent girl and her genius brother who search across the universe for their missing father, was rejected by dozens of publishers.
L’Engle wrote the book after developing an interest in quantum physics, particularly Einstein’s theories on the nature of time.
