Between 1909 and 1941 he wrote thirty-six novels, five volumes of short stories, two original plays and three volumes of memoirs. He lived life to the fullest. You'll be surprised to learn of his other accomplishments if you read his short bio on Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Walpole

“The most wonderful of all things in life is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a growing depth, beauty and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing; it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of divine accident, and the most wonderful of all things in life.” Quote courtesy of Goodreads.com
