Like a number of other posthumously published books by Burroughs, this book is not a novel but a collection of short stories. The first three stories, The Return to Pellucidar, Men of the Bronze Age and Tiger Girl, were published in the magazine Amazing Stories in February, March, and April 1942. [1] [2] [3] The fourth story, Savage Pellucidar, was published for the first time in November 1963 [4] after being discovered in a safe by Burroughs' son Hulbert in the early 1960s.[ citation needed ]
