About the Author
Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) is the creator of Tarzan, one of the most popular fictional characters of all time, and John Carter, hero of the Barsoom science fiction series. Burroughs was a prolific author, writing almost 70 books before his death in 1950, and was one of the first authors to popularize a character across multiple media, as he did with Tarzan s appearance in comic strips, movies, and merchandise. Residing in Hawaii at the time of the attack on Pearl Harbour in 1941, Burroughs was drawn into the Second World War and became one of the oldest war correspondents at the time. Edgar Rice Burroughs s popularity continues to be memorialized through the community of Tarzana, California, which is named after the ranch he owned in the area, and through the Burrough crater on Mars, which was named in his honour.
From AudioFile
Tarzan fans can have their fill of jungle adventures. Weismuller and company get it right, of course. Selecting the best elements in each of the four stories, the adaptation aims for entertainment, romance and adventure--and succeeds. What is Tarzan's jungle without drums and roar of lions and the shrieks of the apes? The sound effects, exaggerated accents, lively pace and multiple voices give variety and drama to the well-known stories. R.F.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
