Yep, that's a good summary, along with no passage of time due to their 'sun' being the molten core of the earth always at the center of their 'sky'. Those and Tarzan were favorites of mine. They would make good adventure role plays, but ERB never took them as far as they could have gone due to the publishing restrictions of his day.
E.R.B. said:That night a little son was born in the tiny cabin beside the primeval forest, while a leopard screamed before the door, and the deep notes of a lion's roar sounded from beyond the ridge.
E.R.B. said:The last entry in his diary was made the morning following her death, and there he recites the sad details in a matter-of- fact way that adds to the pathos of it; for it breathes a tired apathy born of long sorrow and hopelessness, which even this cruel blow could scarcely awake to further suffering:
My little son is crying for nourishment--O Alice, Alice, what shall I do?
I have a book. Tarzan of the Apes. Printed in 1914, A.C. Mclurg & Co. Not bad condition considering it's age. I can't remember who gave it to me but I've had it since I was a preteen.
I read it cover to cover several times before the whole series reprinted in the mid to late 70s. I think my favourite, by far, was book ummm three I think. The Son of Tarzan. I loved that story of Miriam and Korak. The desperation when Malbihn and the swede separated the two and Korak's despondancy. I hoped I would one day find a love like that. I cried at the end when Tarzan swept in and Korak went back home to Jane.
I also loved the cover artwork of that whole reprint series.
