Welcome to the Book Nerd’s Guide to Life! Every other week, we convene in this safe place to discuss the unique challenges of life for people whose noses are always wedged in books. For past guides, click here. I have a small confession to make as we embark on this week’s journey into the mind […]
Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) was an American writer of adventure stories. He is best known for his Tarzan books but wrote nearly 80 novels in various series and genres.
While working as a pencil sharpener wholesaler, Burroughs read numerous pulp magazines and felt he could write something just as good. His first attempt was called "Under the Moons of Mars" and sold for $400. Five years after being serialized in the February through July 1912 issues of The All-Story, it was published in book form as A Princess of Mars.
A Princess of Mars was the first book in Burroughs' Barsoom series, which remains second only to Tarzan in popularity.
This book is in the Deseret Alphabet, a phonetic alphabet for the writing of English developed in the 1850s and 1860s at the University of Deseret, now the University of Utah.
