EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS AUTHORIZED LIBRARY Volume 16 Tarzan and the City of Gold

When Tarzan of the Apes frees a man being tortured by cruel bandits, he is surprised to learn that the stranger comes from no race or country the ape-man knows. He is from the fabled land of Onthar, where lie two ancient cities unknown to the outside world. One is Athne, city of ivory; the other is Cathne, city of gold and evil. There great prides of trained lions are used to hunt down men and wage eternal war. And there Tarzan meets the beautiful queen Nemone, who is determined to have Tarzan as her king…or feed him to the lions! Packed with bonus material: the original 1932 pulp cover and inside artwork, the first 1933 dust jacket art, the paperback covers beginning in 1963, interior book illustrations by J. Allen St. John, comic book covers, original advertisements from 1933, original map, drawings by John Coleman Burroughs found in his father's papers, previously unpublished film treatment from 1938, pronunciation of coined words in the Tarzan novels, correspondence between ERB and his publishers and seven fascinating letters to and from ERB and book illustrator J.
