Review of "The Son of Tarzan" by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Shelly Frasier

This wonderful tale will take you on a trip that involves the son of Tarzan. His name is Korak and he has been raised in London. Unfortunately, the villain Paulvitch is still seeking revenge against Tarzan. This time he lures Tarzan's son away from London. Alut, the great ape friend of Tarzan and the companion of his son, gets wind of a move to kidnap Korak. Together Korak and Alut flee Europe for the jungles of Africa. This is where Tarzan grew up, not knowing that he was really a British Lord.

The young civilized boy reckons with life and death as he struggles through some of the same dangers his father faced. In his adventures, Korak rescues a young beauty from a band of Arabian raiders. Through it all, the son of Tarzan begins to realize that the perils he encounters in the jungle are nothing compared to the evils of men.

Tarzan never fades. Burroughs created this hero for our enjoyment, and today's generation can still enjoy the tales of the Lord of the Jungle and his family. We are grateful to the Tantor Media people for making so much of this fine audiobook series available to us all.
