The Abduction of Tarzan
Edgar Rice Burroughs’s Tarzan, set in the late 1880s, tells how John Clayton, lost in the African jungle, was eventually killed in his makeshift hut by a troop of gorillas. Kerchak, their chief, would have taken his year-old son, but Kala, whose own child had just died, stole the baby boy, and nursed him as instinct taught her.
