	Unable to work as a doctor, he decided to devote himself to his writing, and in 1919 he began the first of his Mercian novels.

They returned to live initially in the Lake District as neighbours of fellow novelist [[w:Hugh Walpole\|Hugh Walpole]] and then from 1932, they settled at the dilapidated Craycombe House, [[w:Fladbury\|Fladbury]], [[Worcestershire (district)\|Worcestershire]], which he was able to buy and slowly renovate due to his continuing success as a writer. His income also enabled him to spend the winters in Capri, which was vital due to his poor health. This changed as Italy became fascist and war approached, and in 1937 he purchased Talland House between [[w:Looe\|Looe]] and [[w:Polperro\|Polperro]] as an alternative winter retreat. When war came in 1939, Craycombe House was requisitioned by the Red Cross and turned into a convalescent home for the armed services.

The entire first edition of 23,500 sold out immediately, even in wartime conditions, and was then reprinted.

	The winters and wartime privations in England had taken their toll on his poor health. In October 1944, having seen "The Island" through to press and great acclaim, he had a serious heart attack. At the end of [[Second World War]] he moved to Montague in the Lesser Karoo, [[South Africa]], then still effectively part of the British Empire. The climate suited him, and he was even able to complete the writing of a non-fiction guide book for the South African Tourist Board. He died in [[Cape Town]] in 1954. His ashes were returned to [[England]], and are in [[Worcester Cathedral]].		The winters and wartime privations in England had taken their toll on his poor health.
