Publisher's Synopsis
12 short stories from Tarzan's youth, loosely interlinked, though each stands alone as a complete tale. These stories first appeared in Blue Book Magazine from September 1916 to August 1917 under the running title The New Stories of Tarzan. From safety points in the trees the great apes watched, screaming hatred at Sheeta and advice at Tarzan, for the progenitors of man have, naturally, many human traits. Teeka was frightened. She screamed at the bulls to hasten to Tarzan's assistance; but the bulls were otherwise engaged--principally in giving advice and making faces. Anyway, Tarzan was not a real Mangani, so why should they risk their lives in an effort to protect him?
