(I) In 1912 Edgar Rice Burroughs sold a story to All Star Magazine about an infant of English nobility who was abandoned in Africa and brought up by apes. (II) For this, Burroughs was paid the considerable sum of $700 by the magazine. (III) Although Burroughs had little difficulty finding magazines to publish his numerous sequels, he received a number of rejections before finding a book publisher; (IV) These circumstances drove him to take up writing in order to attempt to support his family. (V) In fact, it was only in 1914 that his novel Tarzan and the Apes was finally published.
