About This Item
Chicago: A.C. McClurg, 1916. First edition Illustrated by J. Allen St. John, including a vignette titlepage. 8vo, publisher’s green cloth, lettered in gilt on upper cover and spine. 337. A very good copy, dustjacket art pasted in at front endpapers. AN EXTREMELY EARLY OUTING FOR OUR JUNGLE LORD, AS THIS IS ONLY THE THIRD NOVEL TO FEATURE THE CHARACTER TARZAN. Unlike the later entries, this title has no list of other works by Burroughs at the end. From humble beginnings would come great things, as dozens of later Tarzan stories would prove. In time Burroughs hero would become one of the best loved characters in all of modern literature.
