| Adopt-An-Author.com | | Children's Books Authors | Children's books have often been divided into traditional fairy tales and more modern (20th century) series which are often character based such as the bestselling British children's authors Richmal Crompton (William series) and Enid Blyton's Famous Five and Secret Seven novels.
Older classics for children include Treasure Island by
Robert Louis Stevenson and the Wizard of Oz series by L Frank Baum. Mention should also be made of the Dr Doolittle novels by Hugh Lofting, the Narnia series by CS Lewis, and, of course, Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll.
More traditional children's tales are found in Grimms Fairy Tales and the works of Hans Christian Andersen. Brer Rabbit was also a popular traditional character.
Other popular series of the 20th century include the Hardy Boys by Franklin W Dixon and Nancy Drew by Carolyn Keene. Later works include titles by Dr Seuss and Goosebumps author RL Stine, as well as the Harry Potter series by JK Rowling.
