About this ebook
Tarzan throws off his three year cloak of civilization, and with a yell and a bound, is back at home again among the beasts of the Jungle, plunging into a series of adventures, so startling, exciting, and hair-raising that one gasps with astonishment. In the present story, powerful enemies first kidnap his young son, then abduct Tarzan himself and leave him marooned on the African coast. Here his early training serves him in good stead; he makes himself king of the jungle and eventually foils his enemies, and returns with his rescued wife and child to England. NOTE: Long available only with censored text, Fiction House Press is proud to present the original First Edition book version of this novel in the Tarzan Series.

A classic Tarzan read. Rich with suspense, uncertainty, revenge, and triumph, this book is a riveting continuation to the infamous adventures of the great Tarzan of the Apes. Probably one of my favorites of the series so far.

About the author
Edgar Rice Burroughs was born on September 1, 1875, in Chicago. His father, George Tyler was a distiller and a battery manufacturer. Early in life Burroughs attempted to support his family in a variety of occupations, including railroad policeman, business partner, and miner. None of these proved successful. However, Burroughs had always enjoyed reading adventure fiction and decided to try his hand at writing. His first attempt, written under the pseudonym Normal Bean, sold very quickly and Burroughs' career took off. Although critics and educators have not always been supportive of Burroughs' writing, the characters in his stories have entertained readers for many years. Tarzan was the most popular, earning Burroughs enough money to start his own publishing house and a motion picture company. Another character, John Carter, is the hero of Burroughs' Mars adventure series. The continuing popularity of these characters has led some critics to reconsider the value of Burroughs' writing and to acknowledge significant themes in his stories. Burroughs died on March 19, 1950.
