Edgar Rice Burroughs Tarzan the Terrible
<B>Edgar Rice Burroughs <I>Tarzan the Terrible</B></I>.</B></I> (Chicago: A.C. McClurg & Co., 1921), first edition, 408 pages, red cloth binding with black lettering on spine and cover, 12mo (5.25" x 7.5"), dust jacket (in protective mylar). Laid in photo of Burroughs on front endpaper. Generally considered to be one of the best in the series, <I>Tarzan the Terrible</B></I> finds Lord Greystoke journeying to Pal-ul-don, a land no man has ever penetrated, where triceratops still fly. Here, he fights Waz-don and Ho-don tribesmen, saber-tooth tigers, a beast-like man named Tor-o-don, lions, and other magnificent beasts in an effort to save his wife, Jane, from the evil clutches of Ko-tan and Lu-don, the high priest. Originally published as a seven-part serial in <I>Argosy All-Story Weekly,</B></I> this entry into the Tarzan mythos allegedly reflects Burroughs' negative attitudes towards Germany after the First World War. This copy is about very good, with a crease on the spine, which is slightly sunned, and general edge and corner wear. There is a previous owner's name and address written in pen on the front free endpaper. The dust jacket is not original. It is a color photocopy of the original dust jacket. Mainly, this copy would be a welcome addition to any Burroughs library.
