Ratings and reviews

The story was sensational, to say the least, as are all the works of E. Burrows ( Normal Bean!) I am somewhat irritated and dissapointed in all the typographical errors ,the entire printout was filled from start to finish with spelling and grammatical errors! Then, at the end the company responsible bragged on how important it was to them that the printout be precise and correct! , quiet ridiculous indeed .

Enjoyed Cave Girl by Edgar Rice Burrough. Grew up on Tarzan films and comics. Finally can read my fill of John Carter and didcpver Ed's other work. Enjoyed the bio too

About the author

Edgar Rice Burroughs was born on September 1, 1875, in Chicago. His father, George Tyler was a distiller and a battery manufacturer. Early in life Burroughs attempted to support his family in a variety of occupations, including railroad policeman, business partner, and miner. None of these proved successful. However, Burroughs had always enjoyed reading adventure fiction and decided to try his hand at writing. His first attempt, written under the pseudonym Normal Bean, sold very quickly and Burroughs' career took off. Although critics and educators have not always been supportive of Burroughs' writing, the characters in his stories have entertained readers for many years. Tarzan was the most popular, earning Burroughs enough money to start his own publishing house and a motion picture company. Another character, John Carter, is the hero of Burroughs' Mars adventure series. The continuing popularity of these characters has led some critics to reconsider the value of Burroughs' writing and to acknowledge significant themes in his stories. Burroughs died on March 19, 1950.
