Madeleine L’Engle, Children’s Writer, Is Dead

Madeleine L’Engle, who in writing more than 60 books, including childhood 
fables, religious meditations and science fiction, weaved emotional 
tapestries transcending genre and generation, died Thursday in 
Connecticut. She was 88.

Her death, of natural causes, was announced today by her publisher, 
Farrar, Straus and Giroux. [...]

I'm so sorry to hear this. She was a great influence on me. I couldn't 
imagine a world where she hadn't written _A Wrinkle in Time_, _A Wind in 
the Door_, or _The Young Unicorns_.

"The time of great punishment is long gone, gone with the great sinners.
This is an age of pinpricks, constant little bloodlettings that never have
time to heal. And this Hell must suit the age, always."
-- Peter S. Beagle, _The Last Unicorn: The lost version_
