Her father was a reporter and her mother had studied to be a pianist, and their house was always full of musicians and theater people. L'Engle graduated cum laude from Smith College, then returned to New York to work in the theater. While touring with a play, she wrote her first book, \u003ci\u003eThe Small Rain\u003c\/i\u003e, originally published in 1945.

In the years her three children were growing up, she wrote four more novels. Hugh Franklin temporarily retired from the theater, and the family moved to western Connecticut and for ten years ran a general store. Her book \u003ci\u003eMeet the Austins\u003c\/i\u003e, an American Library Association Notable Children's Book of 1960, was based on this experience. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHer science fantasy classic \u003ci\u003eA Wrinkle in Time\u003c\/i\u003e was awarded the 1963 Newbery Medal.
