The Tarzan novels of Edgar Rice Burroughs

Description:

"The original Tarzan of Edgar Rice Burroughs is best experienced as a literary creation, a magical journey that lasts through 24 books and wanders not only into the jungle depths but down through the Earth's crust into the savage prehistoric land of Pellucidar.". "This book serves as a literary guide to those Tarzan novels. Section One provides an overview of Tarzan the character; Section Two covers the mythical language used in the novels; Section Three enumerates the lost cities, civilizations, tribes, peoples and religions discovered by Tarzan; Section Four describes the characters (human and otherwise) found in the novels; and Section Five gives summaries of all 24 books that comprise the Burroughs canon.". "The reader's guide also includes over thirty illustrations from the series' various printings."--BOOK JACKET.
