Poetic Obituaries: At the same time [William] Buchan continued

with his literary career. His short story collection, The Exclusives, was published in 1943. He next published Personal Poems (1952) and Kumari (1955), a widely admired novel set in Calcutta; two thrillers, Helen All Alone (1961) and The Blue Pavilion (1969), followed. He also edited Letters to Reyna (1982), the correspondence of John Masefield and the violinist Audrey Napier-Smith.

But it was John Buchan: a Memoir (1982) and his autobiography, Rags of Time (1990), which attracted the greatest attention.
