Books by Madeleine L'Engle

Madeleine L'Engle (1918–2007) was an American novelist best known for the Time Quintet, which begins with A Wrinkle in Time. She won the Newbery Medal in 1963, though the book had been rejected by dozens of publishers before finding a home. L'Engle was a practicing Episcopalian who wrote openly about faith, and her fiction often merged science and spirituality in ways that made it difficult to categorize. Her other notable works include A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, and the Austin Family Chronicles. She lived for many years in New York City and in rural Connecticut.
