Stan Galloway's "The Teenage Tarzan: A Literary Analysis of Edgar Rice Burroughs' Jungle Tales of Tarzan" provides the first extended study of this collection of short stories. "The Teenage Tarzan" explores each story, usually in the order of composition, with references to "Tarzan of the Apes" and other books written by Burroughs. The study includes reference to other media as well, where Tarzan is a character, and a particular interest in literary symbols at work in the stories. Galloway's book also contains a useful index.
