"There are some nice stories (and two nasty ones) in this collection.Tarzan has a fairly casual attitude towards human life, casually strangling the local villagers when they bother him by getting in his way, wailing to loud or eating too much. And then there's Edgar Rice Burrough's blithe racism."

Tarzan Listener Reviews

" I didn't enjoy this book as much as some of the other Tarzan books. "
— Cecil, 12/21/2013 -
" This Tarzan book differs from the rest in that it does have a timeline but ithe book is several smaller stories throughout the life of Tarzan before Tarzan of the Apes. You get it read some about the expolits of Tarzan and the Gomangani and more of his personality. "
— Justin, 11/12/2013 -
" Background stories of Tarzan's life before Jane and his new-found history. "
— Flosi, 11/11/2013 -
" For anyone interested in Tarzan's formative years, and to some extent his spiritual life, this book is a lot of fun to read. Adventure, mystery and genuine laughs whenever the Lord of the Jungle tries to deal with his Apes. "
— G., 9/28/2013 -
" Very good, I liked how some of them were funny. He's calls the heart "The little red thing that breathes" I lauged and shared it with my mom and sister! 5 down 20 to go, still go to read the 5th book though. "
— Lydia, 9/13/2013 -
" This sixth book is a bit different in format than the others. Here we have several different stories combined together instead of just one. Still absolutely great though. My favorite story is when Tarzan starts asking who God is and eventually figures it out...beautiful story. "
— Kristy, 5/31/2013 -
" All of these short stories were very good; some nice insights into the Ape Man "
— John, 5/22/2013 -
" These short stories provide some insights into Tarzan. The last one, "Tarzan Rescues the Moon" was my favorite. "
— Leaflet, 3/6/2013 -
" This is....well...the worst of Tarzan. But it's still kind of a page-turner, in a predictable, episodic kind of way. "
— Academama, 10/24/2012 -
" Gives back story to Tarzan, and fits in nicely to the series as a whole. "
— Andrew, 9/3/2012 -
" I give this book two stars only relative to the other books in the Tarzan series. It was well worth reading for a Tarzan fan, but not as enjoyable as the preceding novels. "
— Id, 6/19/2012 -
" Not the best of the Tarzan series. I was somewhat disappointed, although I always liked ERB's John Carter stories much better. "
— Charles, 1/24/2012 -
" Previous review available under Jungle Love Indeed at The Taze Files. "
— Merwyn, 12/29/2011 -
" This is a prequel to Tarzan #1. The author's blatant racism regarding "uncivilized" Africans aside, this is one of my favorite Tarzan books. He's unsocialized and completely alone in the jungle before he makes contact with the greater world. "
— Linds, 12/11/2011 -
" Una divertida relación del héroe y sus aventuras juveniles. "

— Academama, 12/14/2009 -
" Nice collection of short stories all about when Tarzan was a young boy, growing up in the jungle. Guess that makes this a prequel to 'Tarzan of the apes. <br/>More low key than the usual Tarzan novel. Smaller stories that mix adventure and character moments. One of the best of the series. "
