Edgar Rice Burroughs to a young Forrest J Ackerman
In 1931, 14-year-old soon-to-be author, editor, and super-fan Forrest J. Ackerman wrote a letter to Edgar Rice Burroughs, author of the Tarzan, John Carter / Princess of Mars, and Pellucidar (Hollow Earth) series, informing him of how his teacher had lectured the class about how bad those books were.
Burroughs replied:
(transcription in alt text. from ERBzine)
Any book that gets people - especially young people - to develop a love for reading is a good book.
Part of our mission at Ad Astra is to spread the love of reading and writing. We believe good reads that offer hope for humanity can make the future a better place.
