A tribute to Madeline L'Engle | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle: "The last time I saw Madeleine L'Engle she was in bed recovering from a hip replacement, in her quintessential New York City apartment packed with books and paintings, overlooking the Hudson River. It was New Year's Eve, 2000.
Madeleine L'Engle Franklin was my high school creative writing teacher and the mother of my best friend, Josephine. Tall and dramatic, a mistress of the grand gesture, she would sweep into our classroom with a cape thrown over her shoulders. It was 1963, the same year her book A Wrinkle in Time, rejected by numerous publishers, received the Newbery Medal for Children's Literature.
Suddenly, my friend's mother was famous."
