Subtitle: A Definitive
Biography of Lord Greystoke.
DEDICATION: "This is for the man who is the real "Lord Greystoke" and

fictional disguise." |

COVER TEXT:
Through the
brilliant, exhaustive research of Philip José Farmer, the
true, astonishing saga of Lord Greystoke —better known as
Tarzan of the Apes— can at last be told. It's all here, the
facts meticulously separated from the fiction:
Tarzan's imperiled birth on the shores of Africa ... an intimate
account of his upbringing by Kala (proven more homonoid than gorilloid)
... his lifelong love for Jane (38-19-36) ... the adventures in the
golden city of Opar ... travels to England, Paris, and Hollywood ...the
previously unknown years as an R.A.F. pilot ... plus a heavily
documented genealogy tracing Tarzan's ancestry to Sherlock Holmes, Nero
Wolfe, "Doc Savage", and Bulldog Drummond ...
A feast of knowledge for Tarzan freaks, adventure lovers, and
truth-seekers everywhere.
