Princess of Mars, A

An absorbing tale of adventure and romance forty-three million miles from Earth. It is hardly too much to say it is the boldest piece of imaginative fiction in this generation. John Carter, American, goes to sleep in a mysterious cave in teh Arizona desert and waks up on the planet Mars. There he meets with a succession of weird and astounding adventures. Think of battling for a woman, beautiful as a houri, with the Green Men of Mars, creatures fifteen feet high, and of fearsome aspect, with two extra limbs, which will function either as legs or arms; of horses like dragons, and watch-dogs like enormous frogs, with ten legs. Only the man who created Tarzan, the Ape Man, could write so bold a story.
