Drummond, John Peter
Entry updated 25 May 2026. Tagged: Author, House name.
House Name used in Fiction Houses's Jungle Stories between 1938 and 1954 for later tales in the Ki-Gor sequence that began with "Ki-Gor – King of the Jungle" (Winter 1938-1939 Jungle Stories) by John Murray Reynolds, reprinted in the magazine's Summer 1948 issue as "Ki-Gor, King of the Jungle" with the Drummond byline. No other authors have been identified. In book form, the Ki-Gor sequence, beginning with Ki-Gor: The Complete Series: Volume 1 (coll 2009), is complete through 1941. Ki-Gor, whose resemblance to Tarzan is manifest, seemingly encounters Lost Worlds and Monsters more frequently than his mentor; the series as a whole is workmanlike but uninspired. [JC]
