Wow! I didn't know the books have been around that long. When my husband and I were first married, we went to Silver Springs in Florida where they filmed the movies.
I owned several of the Tarzan books (and read them). I also remember the Johnny Weissmuller Tarzan movies as a staple of weekend afternoon TV in the 1950's, when I was growing up in New York City.
I've never read the books either. But I am very distantly related to Johnny Weissmuller who was the actor in the movies in the 30's and 40s.
ReplyDeleteI remember my dad having old paperback copies of these. Brings back good memories.
ReplyDeleteI loved Tarzan , would be good if they could bring it back.

ReplyDeleteI guess Tarzan and Robinson Crusoe both appeal to your adventurous side!
ReplyDeleteI've read several of the books and thoroughly enjoyed them.
ReplyDeleteI've never read any of the books, either. Didn't know they'd been that long ago. Very interesting.
ReplyDeletewasn't there a Tarzan tv show/series? Seems like I remember that when I was growing up! (uh-oh, that really dates me)
