"Introduction

Far from being satisfied with the settled, comfortable existence of an affluent and artistic household or with the benefits of being married to a successful actor, Madeleine L'Engle applied and built on the many advantages into which she was born to the project of her own artistic and professional development. An award-winning writer of children's books, including A Wrinkle in Time, which was published in 1962 and won the Newbery Medal in 1963, and which served as the touchstone for three sequels that shaped the rest of what has been described as the Time Quartet (Estes 1620), L'Engle now divides her time between writing and lecturing, holding the post of writer-in-residence and librarian at the Anglican Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City (Collection)."
