Before he encountered the outside world, before destiny drew him beyond the African wilderness, there was the jungle-and the remarkable experiences that shaped the young hero into a legend.

Jungle Tales of Tarzan returns to the earliest years of the famed jungle-raised adventurer, presenting a collection of interconnected stories that reveal his growth from curious youth to fearless master of the wilderness. As he learns the laws of the jungle through courage, trial, and experience, each adventure brings new challenges, strange discoveries, and hard-earned wisdom.

From encounters with powerful beasts and rival predators to forgotten ruins, mysterious strangers, and hidden dangers lurking beneath the forest canopy, these tales explore the formative events that forged his strength, intelligence, compassion, and unwavering sense of justice. The wilderness itself becomes both teacher and adversary, demanding resilience, ingenuity, and respect for its unforgiving laws.

Blending thrilling adventure, vivid natural settings, humour, and moments of genuine wonder, Edgar Rice Burroughs expands one of literature's most enduring adventure sagas with stories that deepen the character of its unforgettable hero. Rich in action and imagination, Jungle Tales of Tarzan offers an exciting glimpse into the adventures that came before the world's most famous jungle legend emerged from the wild.
