About the author
Born in St. Helier, Jersey, in 1861, Walter Matthew Gallichan wrote under the pseudonym Geoffrey Mortimer as well as his own name. He worked as a journalist and went on to publish widely across fiction, essays, social commentary, and practical nonfiction.
His early books as Geoffrey Mortimer included novels and outspoken works on morality and relationships. Later, writing as Walter M. Gallichan, he became especially associated with popular books on sex education and marriage, along with travel and angling titles.
Gallichan died on November 27, 1946. Reliable sources confirm the link between Geoffrey Mortimer and Walter M. Gallichan, but I did not find a suitable clear portrait photograph of him to use here.
