Talbot Mundy (born William Lancaster Gribbon on April 23, 1879 – August 5, 1940) was an English-born American writer of adventure fiction. Predominantly active during the early to mid-20th century, his works include novels, short stories, and screenplays. Mundy moved to the United States in 1909 and became a naturalized citizen. His globetrotting adventures prior to becoming a writer greatly influenced the locales and cultures depicted in his work. An avid follower of theosophy, his narratives often explore spirituality and the occult. Mundy's novel 'Caesar Dies' (1933) is an alternate history work that anticipates the emergence of the dystopian genre; it depicts a world where the Roman Empire never fell, leading to contemporary political intrigue and prophetic imaginings. Despite not being as well-known as his contemporaneous literary figures, Mundy was revered for his Tros of Samothrace series and the Jimgrim books, where he developed a distinctive literary style that combined swashbuckling adventure with intricate plotting. His contributions to the genre have inspired later writers and are studied for their innovative approach to adventure and fantasy fiction.
