Jacket Summary

Edgar Rice Burroughs, one of the most popular authors of all time, is best known as the creator of the world-famous Tarzan of the Apes. In the years since Tarzan's birth, his adventures have been chronicled in books, motion pictures, radio dramatizations, comic strips, and many other forms. 

Tarzan stories have been translated into dozens of languages and are known the world around. TARZAN AND THE TARZAN TWINS is  the only Tarzan book which Burroughs wrote expressly for younger readers, although all of his stories have found an audience of all ages.

Originally broken into two segments and published separately, TARZAN AND THE TARZAN TWINS has for many years consituted two of the most sought-after Burroughs volumes.

This new Canaveral Press edition, profusely illustrated by award-winning artist Roy G. Krenkel, is the first complete book edition of the Tarzan Twins saga.

Tarzan and the Tarzan Twins 
With Jad-Bal-Ja, the Golden Lion
Daily strip adaptation by William Juhre
As a follow-up to Tarzan the Magnificent, UFS went to the manuscript for 
Tarzan and the Tarzan Twins With Jad-Bal-Ja, the Golden Lion.
They wanted to change the title and sent Ed 13 to choose from. 
Ed chose Tarzan Under Fire or Tarzan and the Kidnappers.

Since the Lindbergh kidnapping was still fresh in peoples' minds, UFS thought 
Tarzan Under Fire would be more acceptable to the nation's newspapers. 
Don Garden was directed to make Tarzan more prominent in the story 
and to add material about Opar.
