Denys Corley Smith

He continued to write for a variety of publications and journals including This is Japan where he wrote an article on the Katakana where he mentions that he was a regular visitor to Tokyo.

[4] The Deep-Freeze Girls was written in collaboration with Eva Defago and was first published by Michael Joseph in the UK, in 1964.

Defago - an alumni herself - and Corley Smith took the lid off girls' finishing schools in Switzerland in a comic novel that takes on increasing overtones of pathos as it moves along.

A review of the book summarised, "The common “dumping” of wealthy teenage girls from throughout the world into the deep freeze of a Swiss finishing school such as the fictional Pensionnat de Jeunes Filles Villa Joyeuse by what the author regards as “thoughtless, selfish parents” has prompted her to write the book.

The novel became a minor best seller and there were plans to turn it into a film starring Nancy Kwan, Sue Lyon and Grayson Hall, and directed by Zoe Clarke-Williams.
