I thought I'd get in the African mood - good thing I've got half a dozen of the original Tarzan novels on my Sony eReader. I know Tarzan well -who doesn't?- but only from the countless Movies I've seen, TV series I've watched and comic books I've read. But I've never read any of the original novels.
I'm going right back to the start, Tarzan year zero if you like with Tarzan of the Apes which was first published in 1912 and is available as a free download from Gutenberg. Will it still be readable? Will it be hopelessly dated?
I'll let you know.
