The only follow up can be Allison Uttley who was born in the same year as AR although she lasted until 1976. They were both awarded Litt.D.'s for their work on childrens books.
Famous as the author of The Little Grey Rabbit Books. Little Grey Rabbit could well have been a Susan prototype.
Uttley was more wide ranging than Potter in the 100 books that Uttley wrote, including a good time travel novel. She also wrote a Grey Rabbit series book during the war entitled "Hare joins the Home Gaurd" which exorted everyone to fight against the dreaded weasels (Germans).
