A Princess of Mars

Truly a remarkable read. Although the science is not as comprehensive as more modern books, it detracts nothing from the first part of this series. In fact, Burroughs description of the bond between Carter and his pet brought me to tears and is probably unparalleled in interspecie relationship descriptions.
Am continuing the rest of the series straightaway. Sadly, Amazon kindle free only has the first 5 books, so hopefully my library membership will come before that.
