Virginia Margaret Graham (1 November 1910 – 17 February 1993)[1][2] was a London-born English writer, critic and poet, whose humorous verses on Second World War subjects were republished in London by Persephone Books in 2000 as Consider the Years 1938–1946.
On Grenfell's first stage appearance, Virginia Graham had this to say: "She had no image to preserve, no axe to grind, no future management to impress.
This total lack of 'angst' came across the footlights and engendered an atmosphere of extraordinary trust and love, so that audiences under her spell felt safe and cozy and somehow cherished.
"[7] Among the works Virginia Graham translated are I Said to my Wife by the French journalist and writer Jean Duché (1953, illustrated by Nicolas Bentley) and The Sky and the Stars by Albert Préjean (1956).
[9] She also helped to compile a selection of her father's poetry published in the same year: When Grandmama Fell off the Boat.
