Jungle Tales of Tarzan is a collection of short stories about Tarzan's experiences growing up in the jungle. Though each story stands on its own, together they form a loose narrative. The stories explore Tarzan's development from a young boy into a young man and how those experiences are similar and different to the experiences of the apes he grows up with.
These stories were originally published in Blue Book magazine before being collected into a book in 1919. Chronologically, these stories occur during Chapter 11 of Tarzan of the Apes, after the death of his ape foster mother and before he encounters anyone from England.
Perfect for readers who love classic adventure tales and coming-of-age stories set in exotic locations! Experience Tarzan's formative years through these thrilling jungle adventures that reveal how a human child became the legendary Lord of the Apes. Burroughs delivers pulse-pounding action and timeless storytelling that will captivate both longtime fans and newcomers to the Tarzan saga.

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.
