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 the Arizona desert and wakes up on the planet Mars. There he meets with a succession of weird and astounding adventures, which follow each other so rapidly as to make it impossible to stop reading until the story is finished. Think, of battling for a beautiful woman, 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 watchdogs like enormous frogs, with ten legs. Only the man who created Tarzan, the Ape Man, could write so bold a story.
