Edgar Rice Burroughs 
Jungle Tales of Tarzan [EPUB ebook] 

Young Tarzan was not content to live as his companions, the great apes, did. Their simple, savage life filled with little more than kill-or-be-killed was not enough for him. Tarzan had the human desire to learn and mature. He had slowly and painfully taught himself to read from books left by his father. Now he wanted to apply that book knowledge to his home, the jungle. He wanted to know the source of dreams and the whereabouts of God. And he reached for love and affection, as any human being would.
