Author Biography
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.
