Known as The Dean of Fairyland, he developed what has been described as a fusion of Nordic style with Japanese woodblock traditions. His illustrated <i>Tales of Mystery and Imagination</i> by Edgar Allan Poe, first published in 1935, contains a selection of twenty-five of Poe's best stories, including The Tell-Tale Heart, The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Gold-Bug, The Cask of Amontillado, and The Pit and the Pendulum.

Barrie's <i>Peter Pan</i>, and Kenneth Grahame's <i>The Wind in the Willows. </i>His income from his book illustrations was augmented by annual exhibitions of his artwork, including one at the Louvre in Paris in 1914.
