Ferrar's narratives typically focus on knightly figures, island warfare, and feudal social structures, presenting a romanticized vision of medieval life shaped by honour, duty, and survival. He is particularly noted for historical novels such as The Fall of the Grand Sarrasin, which situates its action in 11th-century Guernsey and explores themes of piracy, loyalty, and personal transformation through the journey of its central knightly protagonist. His literary approach aligns with the broader tradition of Victorian and Edwardian historical fiction, where medieval settings were used to explore moral and national identity. Ferrar's work contributes to regional historical storytelling by emphasizing the cultural memory of the Channel Islands and their strategic maritime importance. While limited biographical information is available, his fiction remains representative of popular historical romance writing of his era, focusing on adventure, chivalry, and localized historical imagination.
