Synopsis

The Story of Tarzan and Jane has delighted fans for a century. Their romantic/adventure stories are as much fun to read now as they were when they were first written. Edgar Rice Burroughs was born in 1875 in Chicago, Illinois. Although Burroughs wrote in many genres he is best known for creating the jungle hero Tarzan. Burroughs began writing for pulp fiction magazines and in 1912 he published Tarzan of the Apes. Burroughs went against the advice of men in his field and made Tarzan a marketing success though comic strips, movies and commercial products. In the science fiction adventure Pellucidar two men go 500 miles into the earth's core to find a strange land full of fierce men, beautiful women and strange beasts. Innes and Perry become involved in wars and retribution. They also have time to rescue and fall in love with beautiful, sexy young women. Pellucidar is a true classic science fiction story from Burroughs.
