John Carter and the Giant of Mars Illustrated

John Carter of Mars is the eleventh and final book in the Barsoom series American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs. It is not a novel, but rather a collection of two John Carter of Mars stories.This is one of the two stories that make up "John Carter of Mars" which was published in 1964, 14 years after the passing of Burroughs.As the book opens, the two of them are attacked, and Dejah is carried away, leaving Carter to wonder whether he will ever see her again. He calls on his friend Tars Tarkas to help, but their journey to recover the princess is an eventful and sometimes dangerous one.Among other encounters, they have to face a city populated entirely by rats - not to mention, of course, the giant of Mars - who is no less than 130 feet tall!
