Fenton loved swinging through the jungle with Tarzan. As an adult his interest was revived when he bought \u003ci\u003eTarzan\u003c\/i\u003e creator Edgar Rice Burroughs' original office-estate in Tarzana, California, and began writing a biography of Burroughs. Originally titled \u003ci\u003eThe Big Swingers, \u003c\/i\u003e it was the first full-scale, commercially published account of ERB's life and work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Here is Fenton's 1967 biography, back in print, as a wonderful source for a new generation of readers. Burroughs' early years were far from promising--he was dropped from school, was undistinguished as a cavalryman at Fort Grant, lost out in gold mining, and had little success as a salesman. He knew nothing about writing, but decided to try it anyway--and created Tarzan, one of the most famous characters of all time. A new foreword by George T. McWhorter and new photographs--there are 66 in all--are included.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67927528079583,"sku":"9780786449088","price":53.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/t4WDTmTy289780786449088.webp?v=1791262335"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/robert-w-fenton.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
