The Son Of Tarzan Hardcover - 2002
by Edgar Rice Burroughs
From the publisher
Edgar Rice Burroughs believes in heredity. He has to; for what more striking proof of heredity could be adduced than the case of Jack Clayton? Who is Jack Clayton, say you? Why, the son of John Clayton, Lord Greystoke; otherwise Tarzan of the Apes. Yes; now you know! In spite of all the efforts of Lady Greystoke, ably seconded by Tarzan himself, to keep all knowledge of the wild from the youthful mind of their only son-going even so far as to prohibit his visiting the London Zoo-nothing could keep down the wild strain. And when Akut, the old gray ape, friend of Tarzan that was, came to London in the custody of all that was left of Alexis Paulvitch- NOTE: When the Tarzan series appeared in paperback form from Ballantine Books in the 1960's, Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc. decided to "tone" down ethnic content. So, most of the books in the series were censored. These censored texts are the ones which Gutenberg.org (an Internet Public Domain story site) picked up and which most reprinters of the stories are using. ERBville Press always goes back to the original sources of the text, whether magazine, First Edition book, or newspaper, for their reprinting.
