A 'prequel" to the Tarzan tales, in which Tarzan's jungle adventures before his first meeting with white men are documented. Entertaining short stories which help illuminate the developing character of the ape-man. ( )

Everybody’s favorite jungle boy wasn’t always an elegant English earl. In fact, in his younger days he was pretty much a wild man, frankly he was a real animal. I suppose that’s how it is when you live with a bunch of apes.

The young Tarzan was unlike the great apes who were his only companions and playmates. Theirs was a simple, savage life, filled with little but killing or being killed. But Tarzan had all of a normal boy's desire to learn. He had painfully taught himself to read from books left by his dead father. Now he sought to apply this book knowledge to the world around him. He sought for such things as the source of dreams and the whereabouts of God. And he searched for the love and affection that every human being needs. But he was alone in his struggles to grow and understand.The life of the jungle lord had no room for abstractions.

Book description

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0345241649, Mass Market Paperback)

The sixth book of Tarzan, King of the Jungle.

This is actually a collection of several short stories all about the times when Tarzan was a young boy and a teenager being raised by the great apes.

The young Tarzan was unlike the great apes who were his only companions and playmates. Theirs was a simple, savage life, filled with little but killing or being killed. But Tarzan had all of a normal boy's desire to learn. He had painfully taught himself to read from books left by his dead father. Now he sought to apply this book knowledge to the world around him. He sought for such things as the source of dreams and the whereabouts of God. And he searched for the love and affection that every human being needs. But he was alone in his struggles to grow and understand. The life of the jungle had no room for abstractions.
