"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.
