About
Timothée de Fombelle crafted middle-grade epics that rewired how kids read adventure. Born in France in 1973, the author-playwright broke through with Toby Alone and its sequel, then Vango—novels translated across German, Italian, and Greek. His stage work (Le Phare, Je danse toujours, Rose Cats) proved his range between page and stage. An Aries born under life-path 5, he trades in restless, boundary-crossing storytelling [F1, enrichments].
★ FEATURE
Biography
Timothée de Fombelle is a French author and playwright who split his output between novels and theater. Born April 17, 1973, in France, he gained international recognition for his young-adult novels Toby Alone and Vango, alongside their sequels. His theatrical catalogue—Le Phare, Je danse toujours, and Rose Cats—circulated across multiple languages including German, Italian, and Greek. Writers blend narrative craft with public voice, and de Fombelle occupies both registers: page storytelling and performed drama. His Aries nature (born mid-April) aligns with the sign's directness and pioneering energy; his life-path number 5 signals someone wired for movement, change, and exploration across forms [F1, enrichments]. As a French citizen, he inherited a literary tradition that prizes the intellectual authority of the author-as-thinker, yet his work tilts decidedly toward youth audiences—a deliberate choice that widened the scope of literary fiction for younger readers.

Trivia

- De Fombelle straddles two literary forms (novel and drama) equally; few contemporary authors maintain equal creative weight in both.
