Good intro to Tarzan with some issues

I enjoyed the convince of three books in one but the series plays from book 3 to book 1, and has some strange jumps with the audio repeating itself. The jumps in audio could just be my device and connection. The having books in reverse order would have been bad if I hadn't know some of the stories before hand.

Wrong order.

The story is as good today as it was when I first read it years ago. My only complaint is that the 3 books in this book set are presented in the wrong order. To compound this issue there is no way to tell from the chapter numbers where one book ends and the other begins.

backwards order

love collection, want more however books are performed in wrong order, would love to hear and know more

Wonderful Adventure

Of course this classic adventure is a treat. It is a great escape to the jungle and wild savage creatures. It is danger and romance and a happy ending for not all but some. However the narrator of this particular version is not among the best I have heard. Even so I enjoyed this listen.
