Dear Alice,
Thanks for posting the information about Madeleine L'Engle on September 7. I'm currently travelling abroad, and hadn't heard the news till I was looking at your BLOG today. I had just been remembering her very vividly a few weeks ago, thinking about how marvellous her children's books were. I had the good fortune to receive several handwritten letters from her about 26 years ago, when I wrote her. She encouraged me to continue with my writing (I was then a teenager) and wrote me very compassionately about the loss of my father, which I had mentioned to her in a letter.
She was and is a marvellous visionary writer.
Thanks again for mentioning her.
Barbara
