TALBOT MUNDY
b. 1879 d.1940 
Talbot Mundy wrote 155 seperately published short stories, novels,articles and poems,with 41 books appearing under his name. Mundy was a non-conformist with a passion for freedom. His writings encompassed not only adventure and fantasy inspired by his years of wandering throughout the East but also historical novels, philosophical treatises inspired by his studies of comparative religion, spiritualism, the occult and Theosophy.
While sharing certain similarites in background and style with Kipling, H Rider Haggard, and Ganpat, spiritually and structurally Mundy was more akin to Joseph Conrad, as his characters were philosopher-adventurers seeking to understand destiny and the mystery of existence.
The novels of Mundy are recognised because of their deep respect for other religions, races and philosophies.
