POPSMourning for Meg Madeline L'Engle's ability to explain complicated scientific theories, such as time travel, far surpassed most writers, and I can tell you I felt like I was Meg when I first read "A Wrinkle in Time". Her books are excellent reading for everyone, especially in our present social predicaments.

POPS 'A Wrinkle in Time' author L'Engle dies I admired her and she shared her love of science with us. She was the first author of popular fiction to explain what she called the tesseract...the folding of space/time to travel. I will never forget the world where Meg and her friends travel where everyone does everything alike, even at the same time, no one would talk out to complaine, and all the houses looked exactly the same...eeriely prescient.
