TARZAN & THE CASTAWAYS consists of the title novella and two novelets, "Tarzan and the Champion" and "Tarzan and the Jungle Murders", that Burroughs published in magazines in 1940/41. This was #24 in Ballantine's Tarzan series. Number 25, the last in the series, was adapted from a 1966 movie by Fritz Leiber (author of the fantasy series Fafhrd & the Gray Mouser). The books have some general exterior wear; the interior of ...CASTAWAYS is somewhat toned, but otherwise nice in both books .
