He was known for anti-war and travel writing, novels and short stories, especially of life at sea. He was born and died in London. Gallions Reach (1927) is a literary crime novel, initially set in London, in which Tomlinson uses real streets and locations for settings. The protagonist, Jimmy Colet, commits a serious crime near the start of the novel, and, despite originally intending to give himself up, leaves London by ship soon afterwards. Tomlinson uses the stream-of-consciousness technique throughout the novel. (Wikipedia)
