Jimgrim and the Woman Ayisha (Paperback)

Jimgrim and the Woman Ayesha is a short novel by Talbot Mundy (William Lancaster Gribbon) featuring his great hero James Schuyler Grim, better known as Jimgrim. Jimgrim is an American secret service agent employed by the British and stationed in the Mid-East. His adventures, protecting British interests against the French and other countries meddling in the region following World War I, comprise one of the most interesting creations from the pulp magazines of the early 20th century. Mundy's forte wasn't simply good research; Mundy was a born storyteller. Besides his predilection for creating tall tales around his early life as a scoundrel, Mundy could create larger than life heroes. Unlike creations like Robert E. Howard's Conan or Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter of Mars, Mundy's heroes, while courageous and plenty brawny when the situation required it, were capable of bluffing, playing one enemy versus another, and exploiting the character flaws of foes, and the fortes of his associates - traits largely absent in other adventure heroes of the time. destiny, a spiritual development that would mold their characters and set them apart from the typical pulp heroes. -- Georges T. Dodds, SF Site Jimgrim and the Woman Ayesha originally appeared in the April 20th, 1922 issue of Adventure magazine. This edition has been retypeset from the original magazine pages.
