Llana of gathol by edgar rice burroughs book reading british english female voice


Llana of Gathol is a collection of four science fantasy stories by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs, which were originally published in Amazing Stories in 1941. The first collected edition of Llana of Gathol was published in 1948. It is the penultimate book in the Barsoom series and the last to be published during Burroughs's lifetime.

Contents

The stories in Llana of Gathol have a somewhat more humorous tone than earlier entries of the Barsoom series, and this book is considered to be an example of Burroughs engaging in self-parody late in his career.

Stories

  • "The Ancient Dead" (originally "The City of Mummies")
  • "The Black Pirates of Barsoom"
  • "Escape on Mars" (originally "Yellow Men of Mars")
  • "Invisible Men of Mars"
  • Plot summary

    The stories in this collection revolve around John Carter's granddaughter Llana of Gathol, who plays the "damsel in distress" role played by Dejah Thoris and Thuvia in earlier entries of the Barsoom series.

    Influence

    The book's title was aped by that of the later novel Ylana of Callisto by Lin Carter, a volume in his copycat Callisto series.

    The copyright for this story has expired in Australia, and thus now resides in the public domain there. The text is available via Project Gutenberg Australia.
