The Beasts of Tarzan

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.
