Her work is renowned for its humour born of a keen observation of Manx characters, and for its evocative portrayal of the Isle of Man and its people.

[6] This poem was different in style to Faragher's subsequent work and it was only published in her third book of poetry, Where Curlews Call, in 1959, by which time it had been substantially rewritten.

The book was described as displaying Faragher's "deep insight into Manx feelings and a nostalgic love of the old folk and ways" by George Bellairs.

[15] This collection included 'The Homecomer', which displays her distinctive Anglo-Manx conversational style: By 1959 Faragher's poems had been heard on BBC Radio a number of times, recited both by herself and by others.

[6][16] It was in October of that year that her third collection was released, Where Curlews Call, bearing a perceptive Preface by Sir Ralph Stevenson: "Our mother tongue has been overlaid by a stereotyped accent [...].

This was followed by a long series of short dialect stories published under the pseudonym, "Kirree Ann", in the Ramsey Courier at a rate of almost one a week over the last two years of her life.

[18] She was buried in the family plot in Maughold churchyard, a graveyard also associated with other important Manx writers such as T. E. Brown, Hall Caine, Cushag and William Kennish.

Six years after her death, her friend, Constance Radcliffe, the leading authority on the local history of Ramsey and Maughold, wrote of Faragher's work that:[5] "In all her works she expressed her affection for a Manx way of life which has only just disappeared, her kindly humour based on acute observation of people's idiosyncrasies, and her deep and abiding love of the island itself."

Her work continues to be popularly performed in recitals on the Isle of Man, despite none of her books having been republished after her death, and her "Kirree Ann" stories having never been collected.
