The short but influential Edwardian era emerged with the death of Queen Victoria in 1901 and continued until the First World War. During this time, the world was introduced to cozy and puckish animal characters of Beatrix Potter along with the eternally youthful antics of Peter Pan (J.M. Barrie). A.A. Milne also began to write during this time, but his beloved Winnie the Pooh would not be published until 1926. Rudyard Kipling's Just So Stories For Little Children (1902) was a successful followup to his earlier adventures with Mowgli and The Jungle Book (1894).
