i love m'le

I love Madeleine L'Engle.

In my mind she is like an eccentric old aunt who passed her wisdom onto me.

I carry it always.

And then it delights and surprises me to find that...others might be proprietary about her too!  and she is maybe making a comeback!  The small local bookstore certainly has a wider selection than many!  (OR MAYBE THAT IS CHANGING)

lucky for me, the public library where i grew up stocked even her super out of print first work, Ilsa, and I got to read a musty old copy twice.
