Madeleine L'Engle
The Library of Author Biographies
Best known for her young adult novel A Wrinkle in Time, and fiction that merges fantasy, science, and theology, Madeleine L'Engle received the National Humanities Medal twelve days before her eighty-sixth birthday. This engaging biography offers a glimpse into the life and work of one of America's favorite authors who inspires readers with characters who make a real effort to learn and grow, and are rewarded for the pain they've suffered. In it we learn her work methods, and that her goal in writing a book is to ask questions, hoping her book will help find the answers.
