About this series

Follow Tarzan, the king of the jungle, as he grows from an uncivilised ape man to a distinguished gentleman. This collection features the first three pulp fiction volumes in Edgar Rice Burroughs’ 24-book series.

When he’s just a baby, Tarzan is abandoned in the depths of the African jungle. The small orphan boy is soon discovered and rescued by a caring female ape, who raises him as her own. Tarzan thrives among the apes, using his father’s old knife to overcome the vicious beasts lurking in the wild. But despite being the king of the jungle, Tarzan feels as though he doesn’t belong in the wilderness. When a group of marooned humans come across the ape man, he finally discovers his true identity.

Join Tarzan on his journey as he conquers the jungle and then learns how to survive in upper-class western society. Will he ever find a place he can truly call home?

Featured in this collection are the first three volumes in the Tarzan series:

    - Tarzan of the Apes
    - The Return of Tarzan
    - The Beasts of Tarzan

First published in serial form between 1912 and 1914, The Tarzan Series is a fantasy story, perfect for young adults and those who want to rediscover a childhood classic.

Author

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.
