I just read on NY Times website that Madeleine L’Engle, author of my favorite children’s book, A Wrinkle in Time, has died. She was 88.
I still have my copy of A Wrinkle in Time, although it is battered and missing the front cover. (Actually, I think it might even be my sister’s book!) I’ve read it many times over the years. It has never lost the wonder it gave me all those years ago.
I'm an American expat living on the fringe of Chinese society. Thanks to a lifetime spent moving around, I often feel like an outsider. This blog explores life in Beijing, China, the occasional aviation topic, expat issues, random travel experiences and interesting things I see, read and hear. If you want to know more about my latest hobby, visit Sewing on the Fringe, where I blog about learning to sew in Beijing. And for daily documentation of Beijing's ever changing air quality, visit My Beijing Window. And, yes, I do wear my santa hat year-round. ;)

I loved that book! I’m impressed you still have a copy, though. That was years ago.
Great blog! I enjoyed your pics of Spain as well.
Thanks for visiting my blog! As for still having my childhood copy of the book – I’m a real pack rat and I’d keep everything if I could. Before my move to China, I went through an old box and found my wisdom teeth, a glob of wax I had saved from a friend’s candle, a dried orange peel that I thought looked interesting, etc. It’s a sickness! Living internationally has mostly put a stop to that, though.
