  Continuing where The Gods of Mars left off, we see John Carter, desperately seeking to rescue his lost wife; Dejah Thoris, Princess of Helium. To this end, he pursues his two adversaries: Matai Shang, father of Therns, and Thurid the Black Dator, across the entire length of a world.  
  From the under the Mountains of Otz in the South Pole, all the way to the frozen North, where, walled in by the Ice Barrier, the cruel and mysterious Yellow Men of Mars hold sway, ruled over by the Tyrannical Jeddak of Jeddaks: Solensus Oll!  
  Join John Carter once more, as he explores the jungle cities of Kaol, the mysterious and booby trapped Tower of the Sun and foul Carrion Caves!

  From “one of the greatest writers of this century,” a fantasy masterpiece about the aftermath of a marriage between a mortal prince and an elfin princess. —Arthur C. Clarke   Before the fellowships and wardrobes and dire wolves . . .    . . . there was the village of Erl and the Kingdom of Elfland.   Considered formative to the development of the fairy tale and high fantasy subgenres, The King of Elfland's Daughter follows Alveric, who leaves home on a quest with a few basic instructions: locate the Princess Lirazel in Elfland, convince her to return to Erl and marry him, and together produce the first magical Lord of Erl.   But what happens when a village gets exactly what it asked for?   How does an elf learn to live as a human?   Is love lost once, lost forever?   The people of Erl are about to find out.   Take a walk through the fields we know and see if you can spot the pale-blue peaks of the Elfland Mountains. Fans of J. R. R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, and Neil Gaiman will adore Lord Dunsany’s influential 1924 classic as much as those authors themselves did.   “No amount of mere description can convey more than a fraction of Lord Dunsany's pervasive charm.” —H. P. Lovecraft   “We find that he has but tranfigured with beauty the common sights of the world.” —William Butler Yeats   “No one can understand modern fantasy without understanding its roots, and Lord Dunsany's work is immediately significant as well as enjoyable even today.” —Katharine Kerr   “A fantasy novel in a class with the Tolkien books.”—L. Sprague de Camp
