A Victorian fiction reference source lists her life dates as 1864–1933 and says she was born in Sheerness, the daughter of naval officer Sir William King Hall. Other catalog-style sources confirm her as a British writer for young readers, though not every biographical detail is consistent across records.

The surviving picture of her career is of a writer who contributed cheerful, imaginative stories to the world of classic juvenile literature.
