Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - ALL LUSTADT was in an uproar. The mad king had escaped. Little knots of excited men stood upon the street corners listening to each latest rumor concerning this most absorbing occurrence. Before the palace a great crowd surged to and fro, awaiting they knew not what. For ten years no man of them had set eyes upon the face of the boy-king who had been hastened to the grim castle of Blentz upon the death of the old king, his father. There had been murmurings then when the lad's uncle, Peter of Blentz, had announced to the people of Lutha the sudden mental affliction which had fallen upon his nephew, and more murmurings for a time after the announcement that Peter of Blentz had been appointed Regent during the lifetime of the young King Leopold, "or until God, in His infinite mercy, shall see fit to restore to us in full mental vigor our beloved monarch."

Autorenporträt
Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) was an American author best known for creating the iconic character Tarzan. He was a pioneer of the adventure genre, particularly in science fiction and fantasy. Burroughs's work often explored themes of heroism, the struggle between civilization and nature, and the complexities of human relationships. His most famous series, starting with ""Tarzan of the Apes"" (1912), introduced readers to a wild, heroic figure raised in the jungle. Burroughs also created the Barsoom series, featuring the adventures of John Carter on Mars, which became highly influential in the sci-fi genre. Throughout his prolific career, Burroughs wrote more than 70 novels and numerous short stories, captivating audiences with his imaginative storytelling and vivid characters. Despite facing criticism for his writing style, his work has endured, inspiring countless adaptations in film, television, and comics. Today, he is regarded as one of the foundational figures in early 20th-century popular literature.
