Deze productieve auteur, bekend als Bessie, was een gevierde schrijfster van avonturenromans tijdens de late Victoriaanse en Edwardiaanse periodes. Haar werken speelden zich vaak af op exotische locaties, ondanks dat de auteur zelf Engeland nooit verliet. Ze blonk uit in een genre dat typisch geassocieerd werd met mannelijke schrijvers, en verwierf de bijnaam 'de vrouwelijke Henty'. In tegenstelling tot veel van haar tijdgenoten, kenmerkten haar verhalen zich echter vaak door vrouwelijke protagonisten, wat een onderscheidend perspectief bood binnen de traditie van de avonturenroman.
