Jimgrim / Ramsden
Talbot Mundy · 9 novels · 1 novella · 1916–1935
Talbot Mundy's Jimgrim (Jimgrim/Ramsden) novels follow James Schuyler Grim, an American adventurer and secret agent working across the Middle East and Central Asia in the years after the First World War, uncovering hidden treasures and secret societies amid colonial-era intrigue. Serialized in pulp magazines through the 1920s and into the mid-1930s, the loosely connected novels and novellas can mostly be read in any order. Mundy wrote in the swashbuckling, mysticism-tinged adventure-romance tradition typical of the period.
