Arnold wrote a story called Gulliver of Mars published right around the turn of the century, that was supposedly inspirational to ERB and his creation of Barsoom.  I've also got two famous H. Rider Haggard novels, She and King Solomon's Mines queued up; also supposedly inspirational to Burroughs as he invented the Tarzan stories.And I'm expecting to get Jandar of Callisto by Lin Carter in the mail today or tomorrow from the used bookstore from which I ordered it; supposedly an unabashed knockoff of Barsoom as well.Heck, I'm reading more this month than I've read in the last few years.  I don't know what's got into me.</blockquote>
