Picture Post carried an article about Frank Richards in 1946. Charles Skilton contacted Charles Hamilton to commission a series of Bunter Books. Once the Copyright issue had been settled (Fleetway Press owned it), Skilton persuaded Hamilton to accept royalties, instead of his usual fee per1,000 words (Skilton could not afford to pay!). The books were a great success, and when it transpired that Skilton could not obtain sufficient paper supplies, Cassell's took over the enterprise.
