New Tarzan
Author Sings in for interview
THE author of the all
new Tarzan Book was in Formby Books on Monday, 26 March 2012 and
we obtained an exclusive video interview with Andy
Briggs. 2012 marks the
100th anniversary of publication of "Tarzan of the Apes",
by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Tarzan, if you do not know was a
mythical king of the jungle and many see him as the first real
model of an echo warrior or environmentalist, even thought that
was not Edgar’s intentions, as far as we know. The new Tarzan
book is the first in the new, official Tarzan series, and the
first ever be written by anyone other than Edgar Rice Burroughs.
The book, "Tarzan - The Jungle Warrior", out later
this year, is billed as a young adult’s novel. It, Andy Briggs
hopes, stays true to the original characters, but it is not a
copy. The new Tarzan has been updated, as Andy has explained in
the interview. We have had the honour of reading part of the new
book and have to say from what we have read so far, it is a
tremendous book that should keep the mythical king’s legacy
alive for many more generations. The first adaptation Andy
Briggs, put down on paper was "Tarzan – The Greystoke
Legacy" and that
has already been a fantastic success. We wish him the best for
the new book’s release and watch this space for some very
exciting news about it, as we are helping to run the launch of
it! To play our interview you have 2
options available for you. If you want HD quality, we have

Year of the Ape campaign

European Association of Zoos and Aquaria
(EAZA). Andy Briggs will also be donating a
percentage of his royalties to the charity.
