The Beasts of Tarzan

by Edgar Rice Burroughs

Overview

The saga of Tarzan continues: Lord Greystoke must escape from a jungle island to find his kidnapped wife and son in this 1914 novel.

John Clayton II, Viscount Greystoke—otherwise known as Tarzan—married his love, Jane Porter, after rescuing her from a murderous tribe. Now, one year later, Tarzan, Jane, and their young son, Jack, have returned to their London home while their new family estate is built in Africa. But the civilized city holds danger for Tarzan when old foes Nikolas Rokoff and Alexis Paulvitch escape from prison. Setting an elaborate trap for the Tarzan and Jane, Nikolas and Alexis kidnap Jack as bait.

Later, left alone on a jungle island, Tarzan must fend for himself against a panther and a tribe of great apes. But he soon tames the fearsome beasts, and with their help he just might be able to save his family before it’s too late.

Editorial Reviews

Written in the early 1900s, these classic jungle stories prove that they can still entertain young readers. Shelly Frasier speaks with sharp consonants and a pleasant maternal tone as she narrates this episode from the famous Tarzan series. This story picks up in the middle of Tarzan's life. Old foe Nicholas Rockov forces him to leave his comfortable life as Lord Graystoke and return to the jungle. Children will adore Frasier's ability to mesmerize them with the adventures of the venerable hero they have loved for generations. Unfortunately, the audiobook contains extraneous sounds and editing problems, which could disturb the concentration of adult listeners. J.A.H. © AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine
