She learnt Assamese and translated Assamese folk-tales which were published as Tales and Legends from India (1965). She also wrote a children's novel about her daughters as The Children of Bird God Hill (1967).

She wrote a number of short stories which were broadcast on the B.B.C. Later she wrote and an autobiographical history of four generations of her family as Daughters of the Empire: A Memoir of Life and Times in the British Raj (2006; republished 2011). Iris died in Wolverhampton in February 2007. Her selected poems, Love's Legacy, were published in 2017.
