Madeleine L'Engle
Madeleine L’Engle was the author of over forty-five books for all ages. Among her most celebrated works are:
- A Wrinkle in Time, awarded the Newbery Medal
- A Ring of Endless Light, a Newbery Honor Book
- A Swiftly Tilting Planet, winner of the American Book Award
- The Austin family series, with Troubling a Star being the fifth book.
L’Engle was honored with the Margaret A. Edwards Award in 1998, recognizing her lifetime contribution to young adult literature.
Born in New York City in 1918, L’Engle penned her first novel, The Small Rain, while touring with Eva Le Gallienne in Uncle Harry. She met Hugh Franklin, her husband until his passing in 1986, during rehearsals for The Cherry Orchard. They married while on tour during a production of The Joyous Season, which starred Ethel Barrymore.
After retiring from the stage following her marriage, the Franklins relocated to northwest Connecticut and operated a general store. They later returned to New York after a decade in Connecticut.
Madeleine L’Engle, who divided her time between New York City and Connecticut and served as the librarian and writer-in-residence at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, died on September 7, 2007, at the age of 88.
