Here in this volume, from a manuscript found under unusual circumstances, we have a new jungle tale of Tarzan, one never before told. The story begins with Tarzan as a twelve-year-old boy, although he no more knows his age than do his jungle family, the mangani apes. In this land where time goes unmeasured, Tarzan encounters, for the first time, other white skins hunting the tusks of tantor, and more remarkably, the young Barsoomian Princess Atara, oblivious of her nakedness in her flight from the dreaded Cannibal King.
