Tarzan and the Golden Lion

By Edgar Rice Burroughs

The mysterious kinship between man and the beast is a profound and strong running current in Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle. It enables him to rear and train the magnificently savage creature he names Jad-balja -- a huge golden lion which henceforth accompanies Tarzan to protect him and fight for him.

Edgar Rice Burroughs

Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) is the creator of Tarzan, one of the most popular fictional characters of all time, and John Carter, hero of the Barsoom science fiction series. Burroughs was a prolific author, writing almost 70 books before his death in 1950, and was one of the first authors to popularize a character across multiple media, as he did with Tarzan’s appearance in comic strips, movies, and merchandise. Residing in Hawaii at the time of the attack on Pearl Harbour in 1941, Burroughs was drawn into the Second World War and became one of the oldest war correspondents at the time. Edgar Rice Burroughs’s popularity continues to be memorialized through the community of Tarzana, California, which is named after the ranch he owned in the area, and through the Burrough crater on Mars, which was named in his honour.

Never disappointed in any of the Tarzan books. This one is no different. I love the characters that were introduced in this book. A very colorful cast.

Tarzan becomes the fond parent of a lion cub and the effort really pays off.
