Definitely has the tone of a bygone era, with disproven race theory being presented. A byproduct of the time I’m sure, more than a disposition of the author, and I was able to thoroughly enjoy it. Ralph Snelson killed it with his voice work!

some of the best Tarzan stories yet

As always, Mr. Snelson’s Readings of the Tarzan novels get better and better with each succession. Thank you for this Particular superior Effort. Love the way these tales fill in and enhance the first five novels.

very fun book

With the overpowered nature of most of ERB's protagonists, it was very fun to listen through stories of Tarzan learning many lessons through failure and mishap.

great, great, great

the stories here are mixed, some very deep (imo), others more lighthearted, but as always Snelson's performance is top notch and perfect for Burroughs tone.
