Rung Ho! Talbot Mundy

Talbot Mundy was an early 20th century English writer who often wrote under the pseudonym Walter Galt. At age 19 he left London to travel to India and parts of the Near and Far East. Most of Mundy's novels are set in India under British Occupation in which the loyal British officers encounter ancient Indian mysticism. In the 1920's Mundy wrote stories about Tros of Samothrace, a Greek freedom fighter who aided Britons and Druids in their fight against Julius Caesar. Rung Ho! Is a 1914 adventure tale set in India. India offers a land full of mystery, nobility, cruelty, arid heat and excitement. It is a land so very old yet in many ways new.
