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.

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. + + + + +His sagas + + +For an interesting reading sequence, the following is suggested. + *** means excellent escapist reading--and fantastic + (***) means excellent escapist reading--not fantastic + Numbers indicate a book + Indented numbers with letter mean magazine only + Major characters, and their appearances, follow each title + (Ramsden tells many of the stories and is not listed + except as necessary to connect the series.) + + +JIMGRIM-RAMSDEN, et al, Saga + + +(***) 1.

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.

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. + + + + +His sagas + + +For an interesting reading sequence, the following is suggested. + *** means excellent escapist reading--and fantastic + (***) means excellent escapist reading--not fantastic + Numbers indicate a book + Indented numbers with letter mean magazine only + Major characters, and their appearances, follow each title + (Ramsden tells many of the stories and is not listed + except as necessary to connect the series.) + + +JIMGRIM-RAMSDEN, et al, Saga + + +(***) 1.

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: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +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. diff --git a/old/13714.zip b/old/13714.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..0ffd924 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/13714.zip |
