A wrinkle in time.

Gee.
I really loved her writing, both when I was a kid and when I got older. Her book Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith and Art is one of those books I've read and re-read. So much gold in there...
Although L'Engle was often labeled a children's author, she disliked that classification. In a 1993 Associated Press interview, she said she did not write down to children.
"In my dreams, I never have an age," she said. "I never write for any age group in mind. When people do, they tend to be tolerant and condescending and they don't write as well as they can write.
"When you underestimate your audience, you're cutting yourself off from your best work."
She made me feel good about being a reader. She'll be missed.
