Front cover is detached and someone called R.Swinbanks has written `very good book' in pen on the front free endpaper.

One of the ape-man's more enthralling adventures, where he follows the lead of a dead German officer to follow his kidnaped wifr to the depths of Pal-ul-don, a prehistoric land forgotten by time. The adventures are top-notch, and Burroughs is adept here at using the primitive society of Pal-ul-don to make pointed comparisons with modern civilization. More often than not, civilized society comes off second best. The reunion of Tarzan and Jane is atypically poignant for these adventures. ( )

Lieutenant Obergatz had fled in terror from the seeking vengeance of Tarzan of the Apes. And with him, by force, he had taken Tarzan's beloved mate, Jane. Now the ape-man was following the faint spoor of their flight, into a region no man had ever penetrated. The trail led across seemingly impassable marshes into Pal-ul-don - a savage land where primitive Waz-don and Ho-don fought fiercely, wielding knives with their long, prehensile tails - and where mighty triceratops still survived from the dim dawn of time...

First words
Silent as the shadows through which he moved, the great beast slunk through the midnight jungle, his yellow-green eyes round and staring, his sinewy tail undulating behind him, his head lowered and flattened, every muscle vibrant to the thrill of the hunt.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0345287452, Mass Market Paperback)

The orphaned son of aristocratic English parents marooned in Africa is adopted and raised by a band of apes. Not otherwise known to science, the ''mangani'' apes name the boy ''Tarzan'' in their primitive speech. Tarzan's upbringing gives him physical skills considerably superior to those of the finest athletes, but he also inherits a high level of mental prowess. He teaches himself to read by examining basic English primers left by his parents, and eventually learns to speak several languages fluently. Tarzan only rejoins the civilized world when fully grown... Book 8 in the Tarzan series.
