She was a pupil of Cliff House School, a girls school near Greyfriars. In 1919, attempting to replicate the success of The Magnet , Amalgamated Press decided to bring out a new magazine for girls called The School Friend later The Schoolgirl , which included stories by Hamilton about Cliff House using the pen name Hilda Richards, supposedly the sister of Frank. The stories were soon taken over by other authors, also using the name Hilda Richards. Hamilton wrote one more Cliff House story, in 1949, called Bessie Bunter of Cliff House School , and published by Cassell. The character also appeared in comic strip format in addition, she featured as an adult character in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Black Dossier where she married the former Greyfriars schoolboy Harry Wharton .
