No living writer today, unless it be Rider Haggard, possesses a so powerful and colorful an imagination as Mr. Burroughs, whose Tarzan tales have won him a distinct place in the world of books. In the present story Tarzan rescues a lion cub whose mother has been killed and trains it to become his companion and friend. Many and thrilling are their adventures, their rescues and escapes. In the primeval African setting in which many of the scenes occur. Treachery and theft are in the plot too and there is a moment in which even the wife of Tarzan is doubted. But the climax is all to the good. --Bookseller and Stationer [1923]
