L'Engle Dead.

According to CNN, Madeleine L'Engle has died at the age of 88.

I can't really convey here the effect her books have had on my life. I feared this day would come too soon, but there's no other way for it to come, I suppose.

HARTFORD, Connecticut (AP) -- Author Madeleine L'Engle, whose novel "A Wrinkle in Time" has been enjoyed by generations of schoolchildren and adults since the 1960s, has died, her publicist said Friday. She was 88.

L'Engle died Thursday at a nursing home in Litchfield of natural causes, according to Jennifer Doerr, publicity manager for publisher Farrar, Straus and Giroux.
