Madeleine L'Engle

Author Madeleine L'Engle was born on this day in 1918. She authored dozens of books, and is well known for her "young adult" fiction, especially A Wrinkle In Time. Wrinkle is a charming little book about mad science and the importance of family and is a great introduction to the concept of the tesseract. I read it a few years ago, and lent my copy of it to my nephew earlier this year.

It is definitely worth a read, no matter what your age is.

L'Engle died in 2007.
