About the author
Talbot Mundy (1879–1940) was an early twentieth-century English-language writer known for Oriental adventure fiction. His works are often set in India, the Middle East, and British colonial territories, interweaving military action, exotic settings, and suspenseful adventure. Thirteen of his books are held in this collection, including The Ivory Trail, Told in the East, Jimgrim and Allah's Peace, Hira Singh: When India Came to Fight in Flanders, King—of the Khyber Rifles: A Romance of Adventure, Caesar Dies, The Lion of Petra, and Caves of Terror. These titles show his range from Indian soldiers in the First World War to military and political tales of Arabia and the Near East. His novels are tightly plotted and wide in scope, building tension between history and fiction, and had some influence on later Oriental adventure fiction. Public information is limited, and details of his life remain unclear.
