More jungle book news. As some of you might remember author Andy Briggs was authorized by Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc to write a new series of young adult novels featuring new versions of Tarzan and Jane Porter. The first one,
Tarzan: The Greystoke Legacy, was published I believe in late 2010-early 2011 and Briggs followed up with a sequel,
Tarzan: The Jungle Warrior.

You can read his post and the reason why the books have taken so long to come to America here
