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) had various jobs before getting his first fiction published at the age of 37. He established himself with wildly imaginative, swashbuckling romances about Tarzan of the Apes, John Carter of Mars and other heroes, all at large in exotic environments of perpetual adventure. Tarzan was particularly successful, appearing in silent film as early as 1918 and making the author famous. Burroughs wrote science fiction, westerns and historical adventure, all charged with his propulsive prose and often startling inventiveness. Although he claimed he sought only to provide entertainment, his work has been credited as inspirational by many authors and scientists.

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.
