I remember reading A Wrinkle in Time and A Swiftly Tilting Planet as a youth, and once again as an adult. L’Engle was a brilliant woman, and a good Christian. I shall miss her, but her works live on here.

“A Wrinkle in Time” was my favorite book when I was a child. Wonderful book, very inspiring & imaginative.

Good books. I didn’t read them as a child, but I introducted them to my children and grandchildren.

A Wrinkle...was the first book of any length that I read as a kid. Had to be 1963. I think it was also the first time that I read under the covers with a flashlight.

That was one of the best books ever. I remember our third grade teacher reading it aloud to us, chapter by chapter. I’ve read it to my children. Talk about creativity and science fiction.

RIP, Miss L’Engle.

I read Wrinkle at 10 years old, checked out of the Levelland, Texas Library. Ms. L’Engle introduced me to science fiction. I re-read the stories with my kids. Such a good woman and good stories. God Bless her and her loved ones.

A WRINKLE IN TIME will last as long as children’s literature does, I think. L’Engle’s followup books to it were good, but WRINKLE shines in my memory — a great, gripping story, a beautiful spiritual dimension, and terrific characters — Meg, Calvin, Charles Wallace, Aunt Beast ... it’s been 20 years since I picked up that book, and you see the names still fall trippingly from my tongue (okay, keys). Thank you for your wonderful contribution to literature, Ms. L’Engle!
