Raines, Theron - Korte biografie
- Madeleine L'Engle Camp began writing stories, poems and journals at a young age. When she was 12, she moved with her parents to the French Alps and went to an English boarding school. She attended high school back in the USA at Ashley Hall in Charleston, South Carolina, vacationing with her mother in an old cottage on Florida Beach.
She majored in English at Smith College and graduated with honors in 1941. She moved into an apartment in Greenwich Village in New York, worked in the theater, and published her first two novels, A Small Rain (1945) and Ilsa (1946). In 1946, she married Hugh Franklin, an actor, whom she met while an understudy in Anton Chekov’s The Cherry Orchard. The couple moved to Connecticut to raise their family on a small dairy farm village with more cows than people; they later returned to New York City with three children. Madeleine began an association with the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine, where she was the librarian and maintained an office for more than 30 years. She produced more than 60 books during her career.

Een fantasyboek voor kinderen, voor het eerst verschenen in 1962 en nog steeds populair en dat begrijp ik. Dit verhaal, over Meg die samen met haar kleine maar wijze broertje Charles Wallace en vriend Calvin op zoek gaan naar hun vader die verdween tijdens zijn onderzoek naar tijdreizen, is terecht een klassieker. Het is spannend, grappig, leerrijk en vol wijze lessen zonder echt belerend te zijn. Hoewel het verhaal al best oud is voelt het nergens gedateerd aan, integendeel.
Ik keek vol verwachting uit naar de film (met sterrencast) die Disney van dit boek heeft gemaakt maar blijkbaar is de film in Amerika geflopt en komt hij daarom in België niet in de zalen. Doodzonde! Een rimpel in de tijd is een boek dat schreeuwt om een verfilming. Niet opdringerig zoals sommige boeken die niet meer zijn dan een veredeld filmscenario. Dit boek doet het op een sublieme manier, het is zo kleurrijk en gedetailleerd geschreven dat je als het ware de film al voor je ogen ziet. En dat zonder ooit langdradig of al te beschrijvend over te komen. Subtiele magie.
Het verhaal is niet simpel, het bevat best moeilijke termen en begrippen maar dat maakt het net boeiender. Kinderen iets bij leren tijdens een reis vol magie en avontuur, iets mooiers bestaat er toch niet?… (meer)
