I read most of ERB's works as a teenager some 50 years ago, but this title somehow escaped me. Reading it now, I found myself as enthralled today by his mesmerizing storytelling ability as I had been back then. The story involves a brainy hero stranded on a jungle-covered island. The local troglodytes must be reckoned with, especially one who is enamored with the same cave girl as our hero. How far will ERB permit this romance to go? Will the mores of ERB's times permit a marriage of two people from such seemingly different levels of society? This is great pulp entertainment, well-formatted and at a great price. You can't go wrong with this one.
