    Edgar Rice Burroughs

    Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) is the creator of Tarzan, one of the most popular fictional characters of all time, and John Carter, hero of the Barsoom science fiction series. Burroughs was a prolific author, writing almost 70 books before his death in 1950, and was one of the first authors to popularize a character across multiple media, as he did with Tarzan’s appearance in comic strips, movies, and merchandise. Residing in Hawaii at the time of the attack on Pearl Harbour in 1941, Burroughs was drawn into the Second World War and became one of the oldest war correspondents at the time. Edgar Rice Burroughs’s popularity continues to be memorialized through the community of Tarzana, California, which is named after the ranch he owned in the area, and through the Burrough crater on Mars, which was named in his honour.

      Classic sword and scifi. This continues the story of Carson Napier, human adventurer who finds himself on the jungle planet of Venus. Like John Carter, he falls in love with a native woman (who amazingly enough is human) and must rescue her, and in this case, her father, from any number of difficult circumstances, while winning over his prospective father in law at the same time.
    • 3/5
      Fun Burroughs adventure. You like his stories or you don't. This is the usual adventure involving a visitor to an unusual world. He has done it many times before. This is a pretty good example of the 1930s SF adventure.
