Harry Graham s'est d'abord fait connaître pour ses 'Ruthless Rhymes for Heartless Homes', une collection de vers perdus dans un monde surréaliste dépourvu de valeurs ou de normes émotionnelles, où le bon sens devient du pur non-sens. Ses œuvres, souvent écrites et illustrées par lui-même, sont comparées à celles d'Edward Lear, Lewis Carroll et W. S. Gilbert. Bien qu'il ait débuté comme officier militaire et aventurier, l'écriture est devenue sa véritable vocation. Il a ensuite exploré d'autres genres, y compris la fiction populaire et l'histoire, et a même écrit des paroles pour des opérettes à succès, démontrant ainsi sa polyvalence. Son humour et son style d'écriture uniques ont influencé les générations ultérieures d'humoristes britanniques.
