Tarzan's Quest

This is my third or fourth Tarzan adventure over sixty-odd years. What I noticed most in this one is the reliance on ponderous dialogue and description; the fondness for titles (princes, princesses, lords and ladies); and the fantasy-Africa plot (lions in jungles; chattering, terrified natives). The story is short and imaginative, but probably had more readership appeal when it was first published in the insular USA of the 1930s.

A routine adventure given life by Jane assuming leadership of the passengers of a small airplane which has crashed in the jungle. She shows she has learned much from her jungle lord, who must nonetheless rescue her and the others from the Kuvuru, a savage tribe of white men who steal women for their rejuvenation rites.

Tarzan of the Apes had heard only rumors of the Kavuru - a race of strange white savages. But when they stole the daughter of Muviro, chief of the Waziri, the Lord of the Jungle set out in search of their legend-shrouded village on a mission of rescue - or, if need be, of revenge. He could not know that his trail ran close to that of a strange group of survivors of a crashed plane - including his beloved mate, Jane - who struggled for survival against the terrors of Africa and an even worse danger within her own party. But the stranded Europeans and the ape-man were destined for a rendezvous of blood and fire - in the dreaded temple of the Kavuru.

Very nice clean, tight copy. Dust jacket is good, chipped at ends.
