He gained significant success with his first novel, "The Broad Highway," published in 1910. The book became a bestseller and established Farnol as a prominent writer of romantic adventure novels. Farnol's writing style was often described as lyrical and evocative, with a focus on creating a vivid sense of time and place. His novels appealed to a wide audience and were particularly popular during the early 20th century. “Voices From The Dust” is a collection of intriguing short stories of London and romance including: The London Stone, The Sanctuary - Westminster Abbey, The River Thames, London Bridge, The White Tower, St. Bartholemew’s, Smithfield, Tothill (Tuttle) Fields, Whitefriars, The Banqueting Hall at Whitehall, Plague, Hyde Park, The Pilgrims. “Voices From The Dust” was first published in 1932.
