Her first book, Games of Patience for one or more players was published in 1888, and was reprinted in 1890, the same year as publication of her second series..She invented the Chastleton Patience Board sometime between 1875 and 1898. Eventually she made an exclusive agreement with Britain’s premier games making company, J. Jaques & Son Ltd, to produce copies of her board. This was agreed on the understanding that she would personally sign every individual copy sold." (TheWorldOfPlayingCards).
