Her New York Times obituary . . .
I read all of her Wrinkle in Time books when I was young, but she was truly important to my wife, who has read every word she published.
Besides the books, she seems to have been quite a source of witty quotes. I love this one: "You have to write whichever book it is that wants to be written. And then, if it's going to be too difficult for grown-ups, you write it for children."

I've grew up on her novels - it's safe to say she shaped part of who I am. I only hope one day someone can say that about me!
A Wrinkle in Time was about, among other things, the triumph of love. One reason why I'll always love L'Engle.
That is a fabulous quote.
