About the author
Born in St. Helier, Jersey, in 1861, Walter Matthew Gallichan became a British writer and journalist whose work covered an unusually wide spread of subjects. Reliable reference pages identify him as both a journalist and an author, and library records show books on travel, fishing, and social themes alongside other nonfiction.
Gallichan is especially remembered as a prolific popular writer of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His published work included books on Spain and other travel topics, practical writing for anglers, and more argumentative books about marriage, sex, and society. That mix gives his bibliography a restless, wide-ranging character that still feels distinctive today.
He died in 1946. While a brief encyclopedia entry confirms the basics of his life and career, easily found image sources from his main reference page do not appear to include a suitable portrait photograph, so a profile image could not be confirmed from the material reviewed.
