A Princess of Mars is a science fantasy novel by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs, the first of his Barsoom series. Full of swordplay and daring feats, the novel is considered a classic example of 20thcentury pulp fiction. It is also a instance of the planetary romance, a subgenre of science fantasy that became highly popular in the decades following its publication.
