In the first three adventures of the original Tarzan series, the aristocratic ape man discovers his identity, finds love, and battles his enemies.
Tarzan of the Apes: Born to English aristocrats marooned in a West African jungle, John Clayton is soon orphaned—and then adopted by a she-ape. Given the name Tarzan, he grows up among the apes with no memory of civilization. But when a party of white explorers arrives, Tarzan is drawn to them—especially the beautiful Jane Porter.
The Return of Tarzan: The aristocratic ape man has given up his quest for Jane’s hand in marriage, but his adventures have only just begun. On a ship back to Europe, he encounters two criminals attempting to prey on other passengers. When Tarzan thwarts their scheme, the pair is determined to get revenge.
The Beasts of Tarzan: A year into their marriage, Tarzan, and Jane, along with their young son, Jack, have returned to their London home while their new family estate is built in Africa. But the city proves dangerous for Tarzan when old foes escape from prison and kidnap Jack.
