THE GIRL FROM FARRIS'S
Original title "The Girl From Harris's" written from
July 14, 1913 through March 19, 1914
Editor's Introduction from All-Story Weekly pulp magazine
| Few authors, not even with the exception of Rudyard Kipling, have covered
so wide a field in their fiction as has Mr. Burroughs. His maiden effort,
which was published in the old All-Story in 1912, dealt with the adventures
of an American who made a trip to Mars, and the things he saw there. Then
he took a flier into the African jungle in his Tarzan tales, wrote some
red-hot romance around a Central European kingdom, and turned his attention
to a hero who was the brutalized product of a Chicago slum. Him he regenerated
to such an extent that every reader we have, seemingly, voiced a raging
demand for a sequel to "The Mucker" that should make that gentleman happy!
And in this splendid novel, "The Girl from Farris's," Mr. Burroughs has
found yet another and really serious field, though he has given you as
remarkable a heroine as you might expect. For the Girl was a member of
"the oldest profession in the world," and the hero was foreman of the grand
jury. Now go on with the story!
-- The Editor
