Synopsis

In this second addition to Edgar Rice Burroughs’ epic adventures of Tarzan, listeners will find the jungle man leaving America to visit old friends in Europe. Through spirals of action, disaster, and shipwreck, we find Tarzan and a group of travelers, including his first love Jane and his new archenemy Rokoff, back in the jungle where he was raised. Encountering even more hardship in the harsh jungle, Tarzan again fights wild animals and savage tribes in the ultimate search for secret buried treasure. This sequel to Tarzan of the Apes sheds even more light on the beloved jungle hero’s life, loves, and struggles fitting into human society.

About Edgar Rice Burroughs

American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875 - 1950) worked many odd jobs before professionally writing. Burroughs did not start writing until he was in his late 30s while working at a pencil-sharpener wholesaler. But after following his call to writing, Burroughs created one of America's most enduring adventure heroes: Tarzan. Along with his novels about Tarzan, Burroughs wrote the notable Barsoom series, which follows the Mars adventurer John Carter.

About Jeff Harding

Jeff Harding is an American actor based in Britain. He is regularly seen in film and television, but he also maintains interest in fringe theatre. He is particularly active in radio and voiceover, having narrated over six hundred audiobooks in the UK for more than thirty years. In addition to acting, he has competed in rowing for many years-a sport he considers particularly appropriate for the narrator of Ben Hur.

Lord Greystoke) arrived in America to see the woman he loves, Jane Porter, engaged to marry another, a man who claimed a title that Tarzan, by all rights, should have claimed. Dejected, Tarzan returns to Paris, melancholy but......more

Goodreads review by Louie the Mustache on April 18, 2024

I have always loved The Return of Tarzan almost as much as I love Tarzan of the Apes. Although the first novel of every series is usually the best, the second novel of this series has always been my favorite because the love story is resolved in this book. For that reason, and for all the others inv......more

Goodreads review by Werner on July 19, 2014

As I read this book over the last few weeks, I remembered and recognized more and more parts of it --finally, including the ending-- and realized that I'd read it before as a kid. (Evidently, I did so after reading part of it at a friend's house; but had forgotten the title of what I'd read there, a......more

Goodreads review by Joseph on June 04, 2023

Essentially, this is the second half of Tarzan's origin story. At the end of Tarzan of the Apes, after rescuing Jane Porter from a forest fire in backwoods Wisconsin, Tarzan had concealed his identity as John Clayton, the true Lord Greystoke, so as not to interfere with Jane's professed intention to......more
