L'Engle, Madeleine

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.02 sec.

L'Engle, Madeleine (1918–2007)

US writer. Her novels were intended for young readers, and she became famous for her moral fantasies that reflect her interest in modern science, such as A Wrinkle in Time (1962) which won children's literature's 1963 Newbery Medal.

L'Engle was born in New York City. After graduating from Smith College in 1941, she worked in the theatre in New York (1941–47) and then taught school for many years. Sequels to A Wrinkle in Time include A Wind in the Door (1973), A Swiftly Tilting Planet (1978), and Many Waters (1986).
