Madeleine L’Engle, who in writing more than 60 books, including childhood fables, religious meditations and science fiction, weaved emotional tapestries transcending genre and generation, died Thursday in Connecticut. She was 88.

Isn't that the same day that Pavarati died? :(

I LOVED the books she wrote. I read a whole bunch of the Wind in the Door-related books, and she had a Christmas story that my mother always brought out for the season. May she rest in peace, and find a little of the magic she wrote so well.

A Wrinkle in Time was my favorite. It gave me goosebumps.

I remember reading that when I was 8. *sigh*
