I absolutely love both the Caspak trilogy and The Princess of Mars books by Burroughs, I'll have to check this out! :)
I didn't realize he wrote The Princess of Mars. Thank you for letting me know.
I'll have to look up Caspak. :)
He also apparently wrote Tarzan too!
I have never delved into Tarzan as the general theme just does not appeal to me in the slightest so I always ignored it despite it being his most famous works.
Caspak is an island within a wall that surrounds one of the poles that contains dinosaurs and sort of lizard creatures. It is kind of like a hollow earth sort of book but instead of being inside the earth it is locked behind this almost impenetrable wall on the surface.
I am also going to hopefully delve into his Pelucidar books soon too, which is an actual hollow earth story. I've always wanted to read them but have never gotten around to it. The series actually has a cross over book where Tarzan visits Pelucidar so that will probably be my first and only Tarzan book!
Those books sound interesting, I'll definitely be taking a look. Tyvm
Enjoy. Along with Lovecraft they were my introduction to reading and so hold a special place for me, it is about time I revisited them as it has been a while!
