About the Author
Edgar Rice Burroughs is one of the world's most
popular authors. With no previous experience as an
author, he wrote and sold his first novel--'A Princess
of Mars' in 1912. In the ensuing thirty-eight years until
his death in 1950, Burroughs wrote ninety-one books
and a host of short stories and articles. Although best
known as the creator of the classic Tarzan of the Apes
and John Carter of Mars, his restless imagination knew
few bounds. Burroughs's prolific pen ranged from the
American West to primitive Africa and on to romantic
adventure on the moon, the planets, and even beyond
the farthest star.
No one knows how many copies of ERB books have
been published throughout the world. It is conservative
to say, however, that with the translations into
thirty-two known languages, including Braille, the
number must ran into the hundreds of millions. When
one considers the additional worldwide following of
the Tarzan newspaper feature, radio programs, comic
magazines, motion pictures, and television,
Burroughs must have been known and loved by literally
a thousand million or more.
Edgar Rice Burroughs commenced writing a "contemporary"
tale about adventure in the south seas in
1913. The first part was called THE CAVE GIRL and
originally appeared in THE ALL-STORY magazine for
July, August, and September 1913. Its sequel, THE
CAVE MAN appeared in serial fashion in 1917; both
parts were later collected in hard cover in 1925 by A.
C. McClurg & Co. The text of this complete version is
from the magazine serials.
