Jungle Tales of Tarzan

Twelve thrilling stories of young Tarzan’s life with a tribe of African apes—from first love to battles with a witchdoctor and more.

Following the deaths of his aristocratic English parents in the jungles of equatorial Africa, infant John Clayton II is discovered by a tribe of apes, adopted as their own, and given the name Tarzan. Though this story is immortally recounted in Tarzan of the Apes, many of the events of Tarzan’s teenage years are not included.
In Jungle Tales of Tarzan, author Edgar Rice Burroughs revisits the fateful years before Tarzan’s first encounter with Jane Porter. As he comes of age, Tarzan makes shocking discoveries in his dead parents’ cabin, survives being kidnapped by a tribe of cannibals, and learns a great deal about himself and his humanity along the way.
