Summary: 4 Stars

If you start reading the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs in the order that they were written then "The Beasts of Tarzan" is pretty much around the time that it becomes clear that the storyline is usually the same. In ERB's formula our hero is separated from the woman he loves and spends most of the book getting her back. You can throw a baby into the mix, change the impediments placed in the way, or alter the locale from Africa to Mars, Pellucidar or the Land That Time Forgot (far and away the best part of the recipe), but the basic plot remains the same. Burroughs was also getting tired of having to write about Tarzan, which he would prove in the next book in the series, "The Son of Tarzan," where baby Jack grows up to become Korak the Killer. Unfortunately there were more than twenty more Tarzan novels to come, which would rely more and more on a formulaic approach. However, the chief attraction of this edition as part of the Found in the Attic Series was that includes the artwork of J. Allen St. John from the original edition, which is always a joy to come across.
