About the author
Walter Matthew Gallichan was a British writer and journalist, born in 1861 in St. Helier, Jersey, and he died on November 27, 1946. He became known as a versatile man of letters, writing on subjects that included travel, history, health, and personal relationships.
He was one of the early staff members of the Daily Mail, which helped establish his reputation in journalism. Bibliographic and reference sources also show how broad his publishing career was, with books appearing under his own name and, at times, the pseudonym Geoffrey Mortimer.
Today, Gallichan is often remembered for the sheer range of his nonfiction. Readers coming to his work now will find an author interested in explaining places, ideas, and everyday life to a general audience in a clear, accessible way.
