Madeleine L'Engle
This is my all-time favorite quote by children's author Madeleine L'Engle:
You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children.
Madeleine L'Engle (1918-2007)
The author of the much-beloved fantasy series, the "Time Quintet" (A Wrinkle in Time, A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, Many Waters, and An Acceptable Time), passed away on September 6th at the age of 88.
Though she's left behind a rich legacy of books, she will be greatly missed.
