Review of "A Princess of Mars" by Edgar Rice Burroughs, John Bolen

This amazing fantasy tale was originally published 1917. I, for one, still enjoy these tales that Burroughs wrote in a much simpler time. He was a prolific teller of tales with an imagination that delighted the readers of the old pulp magazines, as well as through his books.

This time we meet John Carter. He is just out of the Confederate army where he was a Captain. While gazing at the stars one night, Carter find himself transported to Mars. It is on Mars that Carter encounters Martians who are fierce fighters. Because of the difference between Mars and Earth's gravity, John Carter has gained relatively great strength. He finds the tribe of Barsoomians and encounters the Princess of Helium. Of course, I should mention that Captain Carter can breathe quite easily on Mars in these books.

Suspend your disbelief willingly and enjoy this great unabridged audiobook adventure - a gem of a fantasy tale.
