Description

Pellucidar is a fictional Hollow Earth setting created by Edgar Rice Burroughs. The surface of the planet is almost entirely covered by water, leaving a handful of scattered islands as the only land masses. The interior of the planet is inhabited by a variety of prehistoric creatures including dinosaurs and other giant prehistoric animals. The story follows David Innes and Abner Perry as they are transported to Pellucidar after finding a strange metal sphere in an abandoned mineshaft.

Author

Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875–1950) invented Tarzan and John Carter and then refused to stop inventing. Jungle, Mars, Pellucidar, lost cities: he built a pulp engine that made adventure unapologetic and wildly popular. Tarzan leapt from novels into comics, film, and merchandising until the ape-man became a global icon; Barsoom gave science fantasy a desert romance and a swordsman's swagger.
