Graham's published books include Say Please (1949), a sardonic etiquette guide illustrated by Osbert Lancaster, Here's How (1951), A Cockney in the Country (1958), and The Story of WVS (Women's Voluntary Services, 1959), for which she worked during the war, and Nikki (1956, illustrated by Gillian Bunbury).[5]
Graham's long correspondence with Joyce Grenfell appeared in 1997.[6] She had met Joyce Grenfell when they were children, and they enjoyed a lifelong friendship, which included collaboration on some of Grenfell's songs. 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).[8] She was instrumental in having her father's Ruthless Rhymes republished in 1986.[9] She also helped to compile a selection of her father's poetry published in the same year: When Grandmama Fell off the Boat.[10]
Virginia Graham wrote regular film reviews for The Spectator in the late 1940s and early 1950s.[11]
