Few authors, not even with the exception of Rudyard Kipling, have covered so wide a field in their fiction as has Mr. Burroughs. His maiden effort, which was published in the old ALL-STORY in 1912, dealt with the adventures of an American who made a trip to Mars and the things he saw there. Then he took a flier into the African jungle in his Tarzan tales, wrote some red-hot romance around a Central European kingdom, and turned his attention to a hero who was the brutalized product of a Chicago slum. Him he regenerated to such an extent that every reader we have, seemingly, voiced a raging demand for a sequel to THE MUCKER that should make that gentleman happy! And in this splendid novel, THE GIRL FROM FARRIS'S, Mr. Burroughs has found yet another and really serious field, though he has given you as remarkable a heroine as you might expect. For the Girl was a member of "the oldest profession in the world," and the hero was foreman of the grand jury. Now go on with the story! -- The Editor

Autorenporträt
Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) was an American author best known for creating the iconic character Tarzan. He was a pioneer of the adventure genre, particularly in science fiction and fantasy. Burroughs's work often explored themes of heroism, the struggle between civilization and nature, and the complexities of human relationships. His most famous series, starting with ""Tarzan of the Apes"" (1912), introduced readers to a wild, heroic figure raised in the jungle. Burroughs also created the Barsoom series, featuring the adventures of John Carter on Mars, which became highly influential in the sci-fi genre. Throughout his prolific career, Burroughs wrote more than 70 novels and numerous short stories, captivating audiences with his imaginative storytelling and vivid characters. Despite facing criticism for his writing style, his work has endured, inspiring countless adaptations in film, television, and comics. Today, he is regarded as one of the foundational figures in early 20th-century popular literature.
