So sad. One of my favorite authors, Madeleine L’Engle, passed away Thursday (msnbc, nytimes). She was best known for her Wrinkle in Time series, although I also enjoyed re-reading the Austin family related books (Meet the Austins, The Moon By Night, A Ring of Endless Light, Troubling a Star; they also show up in The Young Unicorns), her poetry (which is all published in a recent collection, The Ordering of Love), and some of her non-fiction.
