A Princess of Mars (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781450582353)

John Carter's manuscript, "A Princess of Mars," recounts the civil war veteran's initial adventures on the dying planet of Barsoom.

About the Author
Edgar Rice Burroughs' otherworldly pulp fiction earned him fame and, eventually, fortune in early 20th-century America. Best known for creating the cultural icon Tarzan, he also spun tales about more civilized, but equally high-strung, adventurers traveling to lost worlds and nearby planets. Still loved by readers, and movie producers, today, his unique writing style combined the ever-popular adventure, romance, and science-fiction genres.
