The Return of Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs was first published in New Story Magazine in the June-Dec issues n 1913, and was Burrough's 2nd Tarzan novel. The story picks up right after our last Tarzan left off. Tarzan had purposely not informed Jane of his real royal heritage and right to a dukedom because he did not want to interfere with her relationship with Clayton. Nor did he tell Jane what his feelings were for her. As this story begins, Tarzan is on a trans-Atlantic steamship traveling from France, where he had traveled to visit his friend D'Arnot-his destinaton-Africa-and his old life. While on the ship he becomes embroiled in the affairs of Count and Countess de Coude and two shady characters who are attempting to do harm both to their reputations and to to Countess herself.
