- Her poem, "Sissinghurst" (Hogarth. 1 93 1), written as a tribute to her new home, was dedicated to Virginia Woolf (also her lover).
- Wrote some fifty books in all - not just novels and poetry but travel books, biography (fittingly, on Aphra Behn and Joan of Arc), and eight books on gardening.
- Rose to best-seller status in the 1930s for novels such as "The Edwardians" and "All Passion Spent".
- Wrote two distinguished travel books, "Passenger to Teheran" (1926) and "Twelve Days" (1928), both very collectable. These books recount her experiences travelling both to and inside Persia in 1926/27, while "Twelve Days" illustrates her own photographs.
- "Portrait of a Marriage" by Nigel Nicolson (Vita's son) (Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1973) gives the full story of this period of the Nicolsons' lives, taken from an autobiographical manuscript found after Vita Sackville-West's death. The book has also been made into a Exxon Mobile Masterpiece Theatre mini-series.
