author

11/29/1918

New York, New York
An only child who was left out at school, Madeleine L'Engle began
writing at age five, penning a story called Gurl, which she was
unaware she spelled incorrectly. L'Engle has become one of the most
prolific and popular authors of the twentieth century. Although she has
written nonfiction, poetry, biblical criticism, essays, and plays, she is
most closely associated with children's fiction, most notably A Wrinkle
in Time (1962), for which she won the Newbery Medal in 1963. She
is also the author of The Small Rain (1945), The 24 Days Before
Christmas (1964), Certain Women (1992), and Mothers and
Daughters (1997).
