Madeleine L'Engle has died.

[elbales]

Such a pity she's not in the world any more. Her books meant so much to me when I was a kid. She transcended genres. She had a real gift for weaving her faith into her work in a way that felt integral to the story she was telling, but never preachy. She wrote the kind of books that change you.

One of cleolinda's readers, faeriemaiden, wrote a lovely and thoughtful tribute to her. I don't know her, but I wanted to share it anyway.

Of all her books, I think A Ring of Endless Light is my favorite. According to her website, new editions of the whole Time Quintet were just released this past May.

I think it's time to re-read.
