The Lad and the Lion
Résumé
"The Lad and the Lion" is the first story by Burroughs that was adapted into a movie. It follows the assassination of a king, the quick escape of the heir Michael, and the subsequent fates of both the prince and his rightful country. Through a series of wild and dangerous escapades, Michael finds himself on the shores of Africa, and becomes friends with a big lion. But his enemies are right behind him. The chapters alternate from what is happening with Michael in Africa and the situation in his home country. Tarzan-like and fast-paced, the novel is definitely a must for fans of adventure fiction in general.Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) was an American author, best known for his novel ‘Tarzan of the Apes’ (1914) and its sequels as well as the Barsoom series. During World War II, he was one of the oldest U.S war correspondents.
