Talbot Mundy
Talbot Mundy was the nom de plume of William Lancaster Gribbon (April 23, 1879 – August 5, 1940), an English novelist and short story writer. He was a friend of Katherine Tingley and joined the Point Loma community.
Life at Point Loma
Ted G. Davy quoted a letter from Boris de Zirkoff about the writer:
Talbot Mundy was an old friend of mine (much older than myself, of course); we became pals in Point Loma when I arrived there. He was a royal sort of chap! ... You may know that his book Om was written in Point Loma, and some of its characters are taken from the residents there. Many of the "Lama's" sayings are Katherine Tingley's sayings and thoughts.[1]
Writings
His adventure writings were influential to many writers of science fiction and fantasy. He also wrote under the pseudonym Walter Galt.
