"A Wrinkle in Time" author Madeleine L'Engle died yesterday. She was 88, and died of natural causes. thanks to aran ruth for posting about it, otherwise I'd probably never have known. this book, as well as "a wind in the door," and "a swiftly tilting planet" were very important to me as a child.
I haven't read those books since I was a pre-teen! but I still remember some of the characters, the main character was meg murry---a loser who no-one at school likes, who gets a visit from Mrs Whatsit, an eccentric old lady who turns out to be a thousand year old time traveling alien witch. (or something like that) and they go on a journey through space and time through these wrinkles in time called tesseracts. a great book~kind of psychedelic before psychedelia was a word, I believe. I remember reading "a wind in the door" around the time that "kiss vs. the phantom" was on T.V. it was fall time and leaves covered the ground. i must have been around 11 years old. man, excuse me, I'm having a heavy 70's moment right now....
