Literature for children developed as a single style．Some works became well-known，such as those of Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear．Adventure novels were written for adults but are now generally grouped in the list for children．Helen Beatrix Potter was an English author at the end of the Victorian Era，best known for her children's books，which featured animal characters．In her thirties，Potter published the highly successful children's book The Tale of Peter Rabbit in 1902．
