“Tarzan and the Ant Men” by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Chicago: A. C. McClurg / Grosset & Dunlap, [1925].
Early reprint edition with cover art by J. Allen St. John, which
includes a 4-page article by Robert H. Davis, “How Burroughs Wrote the Tarzan Tales.”
From the blurb on the dust jacket:
“The story ‘Tarzan and the Ant Men’ relates how Tarzan in his wanderings in unknown Africa comes to a great thorn forest, impenetrable, according to native belief, and shunned because it is the abode of evil spirits.
“The undaunted Tarzan, however, finds a way through the awful thorns and emerges into an amazingly fertile country—the forest being really an enormous hedge. Here he discovers a race of pigmies about eighteen inches high, fairly advanced in civilization and living in vast community houses resembling ant hills. Tarzan sees many curious things, and has numerous startling adventures.
“TARZAN AND THE ANT MEN is regular Tarzan stuff, but yet it’s different. It has novelty, originality, and the intensity of interest which made his previous stories such enormous successes.”
