  • The December 1933 issue of The Home includes the following reference (with portrait): 'Mr Derek Patmore, one of London's brighter young writers, who has been engaged by The Home to supply a series of illustrated interviews with famous people of to-day, including Aldous Huxley, Osbert Sitwell, Michael Arlen, H. G. Wells, Noel Coward and Vicki Baum.' The first of these interviews, with Somerset Maugham, appears in the December issue.
