Description

The story of Tarzan and Jane has delighted fans for a century. Their romantic/adventure stories are as much fun to read now as they were when they were first written. Edgar Rice Burroughs was born in 1875 in Chicago, Illinois. Although Burroughs wrote in many genres he is best known for creating the jungle hero Tarzan. Burroughs began writing for pulp fiction magazines and in 1912 he published Tarzan of the Apes. Burroughs went against the advice of men in his field and made Tarzan a marketing success though comic strips, movies and commercial products. There are 26 novels in the Tarzan series. Jungle Tales of Tarzan is the sixth book in the Tarzan series and is composed of 12 stories. Chronologically these stories fall between chapters 12 and 13 in the first book Tarzan of the Apes.

"Jungle Tales of Tarzan" is a short story collection of adventures Tarzan had growing up. This includes fights with mighty foes, falling in love and overall just discovering one's self in many ways. While I liked the concept of these stories, some of them didn't do it for me. Most resulted in the same kind of battles and for some I didn't really see the point. I also think, since a lot of the stories were connected, it would have worked better as a novel, focusing on the arks with Teeka and Bukawai, with maybe the other adventures happening as it goes. However, I really liked the writing style, reading like a classic but with more of a sense of excitement and danger. The themes of Tarzan looking for a family and establishing himself as a valuable member of his ape tribe were done well and interesting.
