As an adult his interest was revived when he bought \u003ci\u003eTarzan\u003c\/i\u003e creator Edgar Rice Burroughs' original office-estate in Tarzana, California, and began writing a biography of Burroughs. Originally titled \u003ci\u003eThe Big Swingers, \u003c\/i\u003e it was the first full-scale, commercially published account of ERB's life and work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Here is Fenton's 1967 biography, back in print, as a wonderful source for a new generation of readers. Burroughs' early years were far from promising--he was dropped from school, was undistinguished as a cavalryman at Fort Grant, lost out in gold mining, and had little success as a salesman. He knew nothing about writing, but decided to try it anyway--and created Tarzan, one of the most famous characters of all time. A new foreword by George T. McWhorter and new photographs--there are 66 in all--are included.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47581615227031,"sku":"9780786449088","price":2846.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780786449088.webp?v=1774920403","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/edgar-rice-burroughs-and-tarzan-a-biography-of-the-author-and-his-creation-9780786449088","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
