Hamilton, Charles Harold St John (1876–1961), for half a century the world's most prolific author for boys. He was most renowned as ‘Frank Richards’ of the Magnet (1908–40) and ‘Martin Clifford’ of the Gem (1907–39). The Magnet's Greyfriars School included Billy Bunter, who survived with his friends after the Magnet's closure, in book form, on television, and in the theatre.
