THE WORLD OF E.R.B., March 11, 2004
This review is from: Edgar Rice Burroughs and Tarzan: A Biography of the Author and His Creation (Hardcover)
For any fan of Tarzan, John Carter of Mars, Venus series, Pellucidar, even Westerns, and many more, this biography of the creator of all of the above, is a must have and a must read!!! I discovered Tarzan and John Carter in the 60s when paperback editions were readily available. Add to that replays of old movies on TV (Tarzan - Johnny Weissmuller, Buster Crabbe, and the rest) and the creation of a fan was in the making. This reprint of the 1967 (The Big Swingers) makes this enthralling look at the life and times of Edgar Rice Burroughs available for the first time in too many years. Now, old and "new" fans alike can marvel at the fullness of this work. I can't praise it enough for allowing this "older" fan to relive the memories of cinema, television, and books that enchanted me as a youngster. For fans and followers, young and old, this book is an absolute essential for your library.
