Edgar Rice Burroughs (September 1, 1875 – March 19, 1950) has obtained lasting fame for his works about the jungle hero Tarzan, and also for the heroic Mars adventurer John Carter, but he was a voluminous writer who also wrote in many other genres as well. Burroughs famously got started out of disdain for others’ writings, noting, "...if people were paid for writing rot such as I read in some of those magazines, that I could write stories just as rotten. As a matter of fact, although I had never written a story, I knew absolutely that I could write stories just as entertaining and probably a whole lot more so than any I chanced to read in those magazines."
The Tarzan series revolves around a feral, ape-like figure that has become one of the most well known literary characters of the 20th century. In addition to these 8 volumes, numerous other authors have contributed to the Tarzan canon since the character debuted.
This edition of Burroughs’ The Tarzan Series: Volumes 1-8 is specially formatted with a Table of Contents and is illustrated with pictures of Burroughs.
