Madeleine L’Engle
Award-Winning Writer

AUTHOR, 88 WAS BEST KNOWN FOR 1962 CLASSIC ‘A WRINKLE IN TIME.’

By Adam Bernstein
Of The Washington Post


Madeleine L’ Engle, a prolific author whose best-known novel, “A Wrinkle in Time,” won the top prize for children ‘literature and was considered among the most enigmatic works of fiction ever created, died Thursday at Rose Haven nursing home in Litchfield, Conn. She was 88.

The Cause Death was no disclosed by the family, but she reportedly had a Cerebral Hemorrhage in recent years.

“A Wrinkle in Time,” published in 1962, won the American Library Association’s Newbery Medal for best children ‘book.  It went through more than 60 printings, was adapted for television and other media, and helped establish L ’Engle among the best-selling Children’s authors of her generation.

Yet “Children’s author” did not begin to describe the breadth of her output, which included more than 50 books of adult fiction and nonfiction, poetry, plays and many volumes of Memoirs.  Reviewers noted a timeless quality to her best fiction, which blended themes of adolescent pain, spiritual and emotional insight, ethical decision-Making and, above all, adventure and entertainment.

L ‘Engle was a veteran author by the time “A Wrinkle in Time” was published, and the Time “A Wrinkle in Time” was published, and the book cemented her reputation as a major literary figure. The novel weaved together aspects of theology and quantum physics and featured a female protagonist, which, was unusual at the time.

The plot concerned three New England youngsters:  the socially awkward Meg Murry; and her younger brother, Charles Wallace Murry; and her older, more popular friend, Calvin O’Keefe.  They use time travel and extrasensory perception to free the siblings’ scientist father, who had vanished from the family after discovering a mysterious source of evil.  They find him on a planet where absolute conformity rules.

The book introduced many readers to a “tesseract,” a principle, according to the narrative, that allows the youths to “Travel through space without having to go the long way around.”


The Novel consistently encouraged debate, with some literary observers speculating that L ’Engle’s strong Anglican faith was a major influence.

Writing in the New Yorker in 2004, poet Cynthia Zarin and said the book can be read as “Science fiction, a warm tale of family life a response to the Cold War, a book about a search for a father, a feminist tract, a religious fable, a coming-of-age novel, a work of Satanism”—L ‘Engle made the claim that Christian Fundamentalist continually have tried to ban it—“or a prescient meditation on the future of the United States after the Kennedy assassination.”

L ‘Engle demurred from analyzing the book too much, once add, “It was only after it was written that I realized what some of it meant.”

Madeleine L ‘Engle Camp was born November.29, 1918, in New York.  Her father.  Her father, Charles Wadsworth Camp, was a foreign Correspondent and author of thrillers, some of which [“Backstage Phantom.”  “House of Fear”] were turned into film.  Her mother, also named Madeleine was a Pianist.

L ‘Engle, a demure child, said she was abandoned by her parents at Swiss boarding school. “I shook hands with the matron, and they vanished,” She told the New Yorker.

They later enrolled her in schools in Jacksonville, where she was once being horrified to see an alligator crawl up a porch front, and a girl’s prep school in Charleston, S.C., where she bloomed socially and was named class president.

Her father died about this time, and some critics noted that it is likely not coincidental that many of her books include searches for lost fathers.

L ‘Engle was involved in theater and playwriting a Smith College, where she graduated in 1941, and afterward spent two years as assistant stage manager for a production of Anton Chekhov’s “The Cherry Orchard.”

She married one of the show’s actors, Hugh Franklin, who had a recurring role on the TV soap opera “All My Children” before his death in 1986.  A son, Bion Franklin died in 1999.


Survivors include two daughters, Josephine Jones of Goshen, Conn., and Maria Rooney of Mystic, Conn.; five grandchildren; and five greatgrandchildren.

In the early 1950s., L ‘Engle and her husband settled in Goshen, where they owned and operated a general store.

In later years, she taught at an Episcopal day school and was a librarian at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, both in Manhattan.


Although she had written and published novels since 1945—her debut book, “The Small Rain,” was about a young pianist’s struggle between art and love—it was not until 1960 that she wrote her firs widely recognized Work.

The book, “Meet the Austin’s,” was the first novel in a series about a Connecticut family and its struggles with jealousy, love and death.  A later book in the series, “A Ring of Endless Light” [1980], was a Newbery Finalist.
