Walsh wrote across several popular genres of his day. He published adventure fiction such as All in Winfield and The Mysterious Beacon Light, while many modern readers know him best for animal stories for children, including Bumper the White Rabbit, Buster the Big Brown Bear, and Washer the Raccoon.
