Hugh Lofting
The Kailyard School of Scottish writers, notably J. M. Barrie, creator of "Peter Pan" (1904), presented an idealised version of society and brought fantasy and folklore back into fashion. In 1908, Kenneth Grahame wrote the children's classic "The Wind in the Willows" and the Scouts founder Robert Baden-Powell's first book, "Scouting for Boys", was published. Inspiration for Frances Hodgson Burnett's novel "The Secret Garden" (1910) was the Great Maytham Hall Garden in Kent. While fighting in the trenches for the British Army in World War I, Hugh Lofting created the character of Doctor Dolittle, who appears in a series of twelve books.
