Madeleine L'Engle(1918-2007) was the Newbery Medal-winning author of more than 60 books, including the much-lovedA Wrinkle in Time. Born in 1918, L'Engle grew up in New York City, Switzerland, South Carolina and Massachusetts. Her father was a reporter and her mother had studied to be a pianist, and their house was always full of musicians and theater people. L'Engle graduated cum laude from Smith College, then returned to New York to work in the theater. While touring with a play, she wrote her first book,The Small Rain, originally published in 1945. She met her future husband, Hugh Franklin, when they both appeared inThe Cherry Orchard.

Upon becoming Mrs. Franklin, L'Engle gave up the stage in favor of the typewriter. In the years her three children were growing up, she wrote four more novels. Hugh Franklil“´
