Children of the Wild by Roberts, Charles G. D., 1860-1943

Sir Charles George Douglas Roberts, KCMG, FRSC (January 10, 1860 – November 26, 1943) was a Canadian poet and prose writer. He was "almost the first Canadian author to obtain worldwide reputation and influence; he was also a tireless promoter and encourager of Canadian literature.... He published numerous works on Canadian exploration and natural history, verse, travel books, and fiction."[1] "At his death he was regarded as Canada's leading man of letters."[2]

Besides his own body of work, Roberts is known as the "Father of Canadian Poetry" because he served as an inspiration for other writers of his time.

Roberts, his cousin Bliss Carman, Archibald Lampman and Duncan Campbell Scott are known as the Confederation Poets.[3]
