First edition of the last Tarzan story published during Burroughs’ lifetime. Octavo, original blue cloth, top edge red, illustrated with 5 plates by John Coleman Burroughs. Fine in a fine dust jacket.
The noble savage Tarzan first appeared in Burroughs' 1912 story Tarzan of the Apes, published in the pulp magazine The All-Story and in book form two years later. An archetypal feral child raised in the African jungle by Mangani great apes, Tarzan spawned innumerable works in literature and film, including 25 sequels and the popular Tarzan movie franchise which lasted from the 1930s to the 1960s. The twenty-second novel in the series, Tarzan and the "Foreign Legion" was the last new work by Burroughs to be published during his life. The book was offered to Argosy magazine, in 1945, for serial publication, as per every Tarzan story previously, but the story was rejected by them and returned. Burroughs published it himself, almost two years later.
