Madeleine L'Engle 100 -- November 29, 2018

www.listal.com
Madeleine L'Engle was born 100 years ago today, on 29-November-1918.  I think I first read A Wrinkle in Time while I was in high school.  I'm not a fantasy/science fiction fan, but I enjoyed it. I read A Swiftly Tilting Planet, Many Waters, and An Acceptable Time while I was in college. She was a Christian Universalist, which got some of her books banned in Christian schools.  "I cannot believe that God wants punishment to go on interminably any more than does a loving parent. The entire purpose of loving punishment is to teach, and it lasts only as long as is needed for the lesson. And the lesson is always love."
