His son, Krzysztof, donated the books to the Jagiellonian Library in Kraków.[2] Most of the other items were destroyed during World War II.[3]
He wrote historical novels, plays, poetry, sketches and memoirs. All but a few of his works are set in what is now Belarus. He also published detailed records of the Kraszewski family and their estates.[1] He was an amateur composer as well; creating music for piano based on local folk motifs.
