She wrote stories from an early age to amuse her schoolmates and, after marrying at the age of 16, pursued literary work as an amusement, even publishing a one-volume novel (Percy's Wife) at her husband's expense. In 1875, Buxton suddenly found herself poverty-stricken, and, becoming entirely dependent on herself, turned to writing for a living. She published a novel in 1876 (Jennie of the Prince's, by B.H.B.), which was a success, and went on to write a serial for the World the following year. During the same year, Won! By the Author of "Jennie of the Prince's", and a story for children entitled Rosabella, published under the name Auntie Bee. From this period on, she wrote under her own name.
