* The Apes of the Jungle (1933) - Not a full novel, but a collection of Tarzan stories published in magazines prior to the novel "Tarzan the Invincible."

Note: There are many other Tarzan books written by other authors after Burroughs' death. These are not considered canon, but they may be of interest to some readers.

It's important to remember that the original Tarzan novels are considered the most faithful to Burroughs' vision of the character. The later books may have some inconsistencies with the original stories.
