"As a writer of fiction his career really started with Selected Stories, which was a little stapled paperback issued in 1944. This was quickly followed by Worlds Without End, a hardback published in 1945, and then his first novel The White Rock in the same year. The latter was also published in US and the Netherlands. A second novel The More We Are Together soon followed and then a third The Widening Mirror in 1949.
