About the Author

Madeleine L'Engle

Madeleine L’Engle was an American author best known for her critically acclaimed young adult fiction, particularly her science fantasy series ‘A Wrinkle in Time’. Born on November 29, 1918, in New York City, she found her passion for storytelling early on, eventually leading to a career rich in literary achievements, which spanned more than six decades and encompassed more than 60 books.

L’Engle’s literary journey began with her first book, “The Small Rain”, published in 1945. However, she catapulted to fame with the publication of ‘A Wrinkle in Time’ in 1962, which bagged the prestigious Newbery Medal for excellence in children’s literature. This book marked the beginning of the Time Quintet series, alluding to complex scientific concepts and eliciting unprecedented resonance across generations of young readers.

While Madeleine L’Engle used her writing to navigate the convergence of science and faith, her works resonated well beyond this niche. She fearlessly explored subjects that were considered taboo, such as death, love, and human frailty. Her unique blend of realism and fantasy, combined with thoughtful interrogation of moral and philosophical questions, ensures that her legacy deliciously lives on. L’Engle passed away on September 6, 2007, leaving behind an enduring wealth of inspiration for readers of all ages.
