Hilda Mary Hooke was born at Odcombe, Somerset, England, 3 October 1898. Her parents were Oswald Edgar Smith and Louisa Elizth (Tapscott) Smith.[3] She came to Canada in 1902.[4]
For some years after her arrival, she was engaged in musical and dramatic work.[4] Hooke was affiliated with the Little Theatre in London, Ontario, since the 1920s as producer, director, and playwright. Here Will I Nest, first performed in 1938, became the first Canadian play to be adapted into a motion picture.[5] She wrote three plays around the central figure of Lord Talbot and another three centered on Dr. John Troyer.[6]
Later in her writing career, she became a poet.[4] She also wrote a book about folklore (Thunder in the Mountains: Legends of Canada).[7]
