Edgar Rice Burroughs and Tarzan

<p> Like millions of other readers and moviegoers as a youngster the late Robert W. Fenton loved swinging through the jungle with Tarzan. As an adult his interest was revived when he bought <I>Tarzan</I> creator Edgar Rice Burroughs' original office-estate in Tarzana California and began writing a biography of Burroughs. Originally titled <I>The Big Swingers</I> it was the first full-scale commercially published account of ERB's life and work.</p><p> Here is Fenton's 1967 biography back in print as a wonderful source for a new generation of readers. Burroughs' early years were far from promising--he was dropped from school was undistinguished as a cavalryman at Fort Grant lost out in gold mining and had little success as a salesman. He knew nothing about writing but decided to try it anyway--and created Tarzan one of the most famous characters of all time. A new foreword by George T. McWhorter and new photographs--there are 66 in all--are included.</p>
