Here are some more information for Old Jade Leo:
A delightful adventure story set in the India still under the Raj, A book
I never tire of re-reading, there's always something new I learn or
discover.
Talbot Mundy created a popular series of adventure stories and books in the early 20th century, starting with stories in Adventure magazines, serialized novels, and later on radio programs and movies. among the most popular: King of Khyber Rifles.
In 1926 he published OM The Secret of Ahbor Valley... perhaps his greatest novel with its metaphysical theme.
I discovered it in 1965 at the same time I had found that fabulous book about King Tut: Tutankhamen, Life of a Pharaoh, by Christiane Desroches-Noblecourt, that started me on my obsession with that wonderful king.
Why did I pick it up?
"To him
who truly seeks the Middle Way, the Middle Way
will open, One step forward is enough."THE SAYINGS OF TSIANG SAMDUP [http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Forum/7656/tsamdup]
I had already devoured Jack Kerouac's books, including "The Dharma Bums", with its theme about Tibetan Buddhism. I was open to new books about Eastern philosophy, and was also was a fan of Sax Rohmer and Edgar Rice Burroughs. Since Mundy was a popular contemporary of theirs, I decided to try it and have never regretted it.
OM opens with an amazing series of catastrophic events. Could this have happened anywhere else than in India? When I first read it, I laughed till I cried.
The adventure story explores the caste system, the various religions, the Secret Ways, the many different tribal areas under the Raj and their widely different customs.
It all centers around a mission founded by an American millionaire philanthropist to teach the natives their own religion along with basic hygiene to improve their way of life. Protaganist Cottswold Ommony, an 'old time forrester', was one of the three trustees appointed to oversee the project, the other two, the woman who runs the mission and a mysterious RingDing Geelong Lama that no one has ever seen.
To complicate the story, there are rumors of a mysterious stone, a huge Jade, with magical properties in the legendary Ahbor country where 'Masters' are reputed to live, of an adopted daughter of the woman who runs the mission, and a report of a stolen piece of that stone. On top of that is the ongoing mystery of the sudden disappearance of Ommony's pregnant younger sister and her husband, the mission's doctor, 20 years before.
That piece of Jade turns up in Delhi, is handed over to Ommony to investigate, and this marvelous adventure takes off.
I highly recommend this book to all adventure lovers.
This book has been kept in print by various publishers.
You can sometimes find copies, worn-out, in used book stores.
Powell's Book Store has a good supply of Talbot Mundy's books.

What is the best match for a Sagittarius?
Sagittarian is the ninth sign of twelve sun signs, people born between November 22 to December 21 falls under this zodiac. Its ruling planet being Jupiter ad the symbol being the archer, people born under this sign are considered to be free spirited, friendly and heavily inclined towards the materialistic world. The Sagittarian is a fire sign and enjoys good taste in food, wine and women/men, they love to travel and do not fret about future a lot. So, what is the best match for a Sagittarius, let’s try to find the answer.
Sagittarians are well matched with Leo and their union is most likely to generate colourful fire works all life. Together they enjoy an adventurous, free and interesting life. They are both good in lovemaking and thoroughly enjoy all the materialistic pleasures of life. Leo complements Sagittarian and brings stability to the Archer’s life.
Second best match for this sign is with Aquarians. Both signs influence each other’s intellect and are innovative and challenging in love making act. Aquarian’s innovative abilities combined with archer’s vision create a symbol of perfection. It’s an association, which is likely to cause a stir in the circle around them.
This zodiac is a best match for the partner born under Aries sign. Both signs share many similar interests. The compassionate Sagittarius is perfectly matched with the spontaneous sensibility of an Arian. Although this is a recommended match, however, the physical intimacy between the two signs is slightly questionable.
A Libran could be quite an interesting match, as the Libran charm spells can magically soothe the intellectual nerve of the free bird Sagittarian.
A Piscean is very well suited with a Sagittarian partner within the limits of physical attraction and beyond that they do not generate any spark.
The old fashioned Capricorn is considered the most incompatible in all contexts, Capricorn is reserved and their interests lie in the opposite direction.
A fellow Sagittarian could be a good friend; however, a long lasting fulfilling relation ship is not on cards.
The intense and dominating Scorpion can only be an interesting partner in romantic matters; however, this companionship is quite conflicting due to the frictions caused by the passionate domination of the former.
A Virgo’s need for commitment and archer’s need for freedom does not go hand in hand. Their union is not very captivating in terms of love making acts, which determines that their future together is not very promising.
The crab’s futuristic approach and the Archer’s live it right now approach create a pull it apart situation, thereby, not recommended.
Gemini, the twins are critical and they are initially attracted to the Sagittarian like magnet, however, due to opposite nature they most likely fall apart if not handled carefully.
The stubborn bull may be happy when it comes to sexual ignition, however, when it comes to the sporty and wandering ways of the Sagittarian, Taurus would be highly dissatisfied with the later.
At the end I would like to summarize that it’s the most misunderstood sign in the zodiac world and is often labelled as flirtatious. However, I beg to differ and would like to admit that it is the most friendly, caring, self dependent, warm and considerate sign in the all four categories of fire, water, air and earth.
