Tarzan of the Apes, also called Tarzan the Terrible and Son of God, was born in a cottage made of packing crates and mud on the shores of Africa on November 22, 1888. His real name was John Clayton, and he was the son of Lord Greystoke and his delicate wife, Alice, who, not long before John's birth, were marooned on those wild shores by savage mutineers... His mother died a year after his birth... It wasn't long after that that Kerchak, king of the apes, and his troop went on a rampage, entered the cabin... and killed the grief-stricken husband and father. Had it not been for Kala, mate of Tublat, who was mourning the loss of a baby, little John Clayton might have been killed too. However, Kala grabbed him to her bosom and adopted him as her own... In 1908 Tarzan met Jane Porter, who by sheer coincidence was marooned on that same shore. She was nineteen, with long yellow hair and blue-gray eyes... [there's a lot more information about Tarzan's life, see Source.]
