More famous for Tarzan, Edgar Rice Burroughs was arguably more imaginative in his Barsoomian tales, which began with his ex-Confederate gentleman John Carter being transported to Mars (Barsoom to those that lived there), engaging in a series of adventures and rescuing, then marrying, the incomparable Martian princess, Dejah Thoris. The stories continued with other characters, including the offspring of Carter and Thoris, in a series of books.

If you first read John Carter in your teens, and then returned to it, as I did, many times, then you will thoroughly enjoy this collection. While the quality varies, that does not matter, because not everything ERB did was shining prose.

Ever since "The Skeleton Men of Jupiter" was published in Amazing Stories in 1943, writers have turned their hands towards continuing the adventures of Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter, the ageless Earthman battling his way across the fantastic world of Barsoom -- what its inhabitants called the planet Mars. Some writers have simply re-worked the stories in their own fashion.
