Told in the East is a collection of three Talbot Mundy novellas -- "Hookum Ha", "For the Salt He Had Eaten", and "Machassan Ah", all set, like much of Mundy's work, in India and Arabia. If you haven't read Mundy before, brace yourself: He was an enormously popular writer in his day for damn good reason. The tales told in the east are mighty keen adventures.
