Charles Vildrac

Charles Vildrac and his wife in 1926 Charles Vildrac (November 22, 1882 – June 25, 1971), born "Charles Messager", was a French libertarian playwright, poet and author of what some consider the first modern children's novel, ''L'Île rose'' (1924).

Born in Paris, Vildrac's first poems were written when he was a teenager in the 1890s. In 1901 he published ''Le Verlibrisme'', a defense of traditional verse. In 1912 he published a collection of prose poems.

He was a member of the Abbaye de Créteil which he founded with Georges Duhamel. He died in Saint-Tropez.
