Synopsis

Scion of a wealthy family, the effete Waldo Emerson Smith-Jones has been transformed . . . no thanks to the proper training and education due Boston's finest -- but due to sheer, desperate necessity: for he must survive as a castaway! Surrounded by brutish troglodytes, he discovers resources and strengths he never knew he possessed -- as well as love, with the strangely bewitching Nadara. Rising to the leadership of her primitive tribe, he makes plans for a return to civilization . . . a return, he soon learns, fraught with more peril than the jungle!

About this title

About the Author

Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875 - 1950) was an American writer best known for his creations of the jungle hero Tarzan and the heroic Mars adventurer John Carter, although he produced works in many genres. Burroughs was in his late 60s and was in Honolulu at the time of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Despite his age, he applied for and received permission to become a war correspondent, becoming one of the oldest U.S. war correspondents during World War II. This period of his life is mentioned in William Brinkley's bestselling novel Don't Go Near the Water.
