Herford was known for his simple and precise literary style, which was featured across a versatile array of works, including poems, plays, and satirical pieces. He is perhaps best remembered for his books for children. Among his notable works is 'The Peter Pan Alphabet' (1907), a whimsical exploration of the characters in J.M.

A prolific author, Herford penned over fifty books, contributing not only to his legacy as an illustrator and humorist but also as an influential figure in children's literature.
