I had a wrinkle in time on tape, read by her. I listened to it so often I could repeat large portions of it by heart.
"[A Wrinkle in Time] is not too difficult for kids, it's too difficult for grown ups. Too many grown ups shut themselves up in little rooms with windows that won't open and doors that are locked. But your brains are wide open for new thoughts and new concepts and new ideas, so I hope you enjoy this book."
She and Roal Dahl validated my childhood experience in ways that most of the world seemed to ignore. My favorite authors are passing away; it may be time to look to the next generation.
