BIBLIO
MATERIALS TOWARD A BIBLIOGRAPHY
OF THE WORKS
OF
TALBOT MUNDY
Edited by BRADFORD M. DAY
A Bit of His Life
Talbot Mundy was born in London on April 23, 1879. He was educated at
Rugby, and served nearly ten years, beginning in 1900, as a government
official in Africa and India. While in India, he wandered all over the
sub-continent on horseback, and even into Tibet. Eastern occult lore
first attracted, then fascinated, his active and unorthodox mind. Mundy
absorbed all he could learn of the Indian beliefs.
Government service next brought him to Africa where he studied
first-hand the nature magic of many of the tribes and cultures of East
Africa. His quest for more information on this subject impelled him to
travel extensively through Egypt and the Near East and even into parts
of Arabia. This was truly adventurous at the time, but only in character
with the man who killed dozens of lions and successfully hunted for
ivory.
Mundy visited Australia, and Mexico as far south as Yucutan. He first
arrived in the United States in 1911, and liked the country so much that
he decided to stay and become a citizen.
Mundy quickly turned his energies to writing, and an article, "Pig
Sticking in India," was accepted and published in the April 1911 issue
of Adventure Magazine, itself only a few months old. Another article and
his first story, "The Phantom Battery" soon appeared. For years
thereafter, Adventure had short stories, novelettes, novels, and serials
by this master teller of tales in most of the issues that were printed.
The motif and locale of the stories and very infrequent articles usually
stemmed from the areas, people, and occult knowledge previously
mentioned. The manly art of self defense must have occupied some of
Mundy's attention during his early career. A series of stories about
Billy Blain, pugilist, appeared under the pen-name of Walter Gait,
beginning with the February 1912 issue of Adventure. Two articles were
also printed under this pseudonym.
Scribners of New York produced his first book, "Rung Ho" in 1914, then
apparently forgot him. In 1916, Bobbs-Merrill of Indianapolis published
one of his most famous stories, "King--of the Khyber Rifles," and
Cassell and Company of London brought out "The Winds of the World." Both
were well received, and Mundy's career to a moderate renown was on its
way.
In succeeding years he continued to write for Adventure and other
magazines, most of the stories being snapped up by various book
publishers. Many of the books were reprinted in several editions by
different companies, and, confusing to a bibliophile, the English
publications ware often re-titled.
During the 1920's Mundy bought a part of the Point Loma estate in
California, called The Cliffs. He settled there for several years and
became a member of the Theosophical Society presided over by Katherine
Tingley. A half-dozen of his books were written there and, "Om; the
Secret of Ahbor Valley," shows the influence of this occult society.
He contributed many articles to Tingley's theosophical magazines, her
most noted publication being the Theosophical Path. After her death in
1929, Mundy left Point Loma but always retained his interest in and
sympathy with Theosophy.
Mundy continued writing almost to the time of his death on August 5,
1940. In all, forty-nine books were produced under his name, thirty-nine
of which were original works. At least one-hundred and fifty stories and
articles appeared in magazines; most of these, perhaps nearly all, are
listed in this bibliography. None of the theosophical articles are
included here, though, as the intent of this listing is to stress his
mastery of the fantasy-high adventure tale.
It is still too soon to properly evaluate Mundy's importance in the
stream of literature. His style of writing, choice of language, is
smoothly readable. One "fault," if such it be, is a sometimes too
carefully contrived buildup to plot situations. This careful skill did
result in glowing word-pictures and living characters.
Considerable assistance was given on this project by friends and fellow
enthusiasts. My grateful thanks to all as they come to mind:
Dr. J. Lloyd Eaton--Berkeley, California
John C. Nitka--Richmond Hill, New York
James A. Strand--Portland, Oregon
Walter A. Carrithers, Jr.--Fresno, California
Robert Resch--Reading, Pennsylvania
Richard Witter, Donald Grant, and some others
for appreciated words of caution and advice.
The following list must not be supposed the final and
authoritative word on this subject.

THE MAN FROM JUPITER
Claims have been advanced that Mundy wrote this work of science
fiction. Doubtlessly most of the imaginative creation connected with
this book is in the minds of the gulls who pass the name of this

His sagas; with a story sequence of various characters
by Dr. J. Lloyd Eaton
Talbot Mundy was a prolific writer of historical tales and stories of
adventure-intrigue, his particular forte being tales of India and the
Near East. Twelve of his novels are listed in THE CHECKLIST OF FANTASTIC
LITERATURE, with themes of mysticism, black versus white magic,
lost-race, and even true science fiction. Many others of his stories are
borderline fantastics.
In the field of fantastic literature his works are highly prized (often
highly priced, also) and many such readers find, possibly to their
surprise, that they also enjoy his other stories. This may be due in
some part to the fact that Mundy used the same characters over and over
again, in novels in which each played the lead and as sub-characters in
other novels. One keeps meeting old friends.
This leads to one difficulty in reading Mundy, however. If one is going
to meet these characters, it is much more enjoyable to watch them
develop from birth, so to speak--and not vice versa, like coming into a
theatre in the middle of the picture. But, a reading sequence is a real
difficulty. Each story is complete in itself, but the characters are
re-shuffled into various combinations and any one of them may, and does,
strike off into a novel of his own, only to reappear at a later date in
some combination with other such characters. It is confusing, to say the
least. To add to the confusion, all or nearly all of Mundy's stories
first appeared in magazines, largely in Adventure, but later in Argosy.
As his popularity grew, his older stories were republished in book form,
as well as each of his new novels, so that the date of publication of
his books means nothing as far as reading chronology is concerned.
Before going any further, it may be interesting to digress a bit, and
consider some of his earlier stories in Adventure Magazine, and more
particularly as they apply to his books. No attempt is being made to
give a complete listing of his magazine stories here. Adventure Magazine
began publication in November 1910, but the earliest issue that I have
for reference is that of August 1911. This contains a short story by
Mundy, "The Phantom Battery." By this time he was publishing five to
eight short stories per year. These early stories were mostly about the
British Army and the most important was his "The Soul of A Regiment,"
(February 1913) a tale of native troops in the ill-fated first
expedition against the Dervishes in Egypt, with a surprise, terrific,
ending. This story was published as a book, "The Soul of A Regiment,"
(Alex Dulfer, San Francisco, 1925) and was anthologized by Arthur
Sullivant Hoffman in "Adventure's Beet Stories--1926" (Doran, New York,
1926). It was reprinted in Adventure Magazine in April 1917 and followed
next month be a sequel, "The Damned Old Nigger." Three of his early
novelettes (1913), "Hookum Hai," "For the Salt He Had Eaten," and
"Machassan Ah," will be found in the book "Told in the East,"
(Bobbs-Merrill, Indianapolis, 1920). The first two concern the Sepoy
Revolt and the third is a humorous story of the British Navy. All are
good tales. The characters in the latter appear also in "An Arabian
Night" (Adventure, November 1913). The first of his Indian hillman type
stories is probably the short novel "The Letter of His Orders"
(Adventure, September 1913). His first serial, "For the Peace of India"
(Adventure, February to April 1914) was published in the book "Rung Ho"
(Scribners, New York, 1914) and is another good story of the Sepoy
Rebellion. In January and July 1914, appeared two stories about the
Princess Yasmini, a character that he used extensively in later
novels--as the lead, with King, with Ranjoor Singh, and in the
Jimgrim-Ramsden saga. The first of his sagas (Dick Anthony of Arran) was
never published in book form. This series included eight novelettes and
short novels, enough to fill four or five books, and appeared in
successive issues of Adventure Magazine, beginning August 1914. These
were very good adventure tales of a Scotch gentleman fighting for Iran
against Old Russia, but are rather dated now. Following this, most of
his novels appeared first in a magazine and were then immediately
published in book form.
This brings us to the "Jimgrim-Ramsden Saga," the greatest of them all.
If the early (and later) development of the associated characters is
added, it continues through twenty-one books (twenty-two novels), and
fifteen books (sixteen novels) for the actual Jimgrim-Ramsden stories.
This is not counting some eighteen novelettes and novels found in
magazines only.
This Saga, in the main, is the story of James Schuyler Grim, (Jimgrim) a
remarkable characterization, beginning as an American "Lawrence in
Arabia" and evolving into a human but unapproachable high priest of the
occult. There is Jeff Ramsden, the strong man and his closest friend,
who with the Australian, Jeremy Ross, make up the triumvirate of Grim,
Ross, and Ramsden, with their henchman Narayan Singh, the indomitable
Sikh. (Who cuts throats with an outward thrust.) Later the
multimillionaire, Meldrum Strange, hires them to fight evil. Then,
Athelbert King, a hero of novels in his own right, joins up, making a
quartet. Other characters from Mundy's novels appear--the seductive and
dangerous Princess Yasmini; Cotswold Ommony, the forester of India; the
Babu, Chullunder Ghose; the Gunga Sahib, and O'Hara.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
particular state visit https://pglaf.org
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
works.
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:

This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
