Tarzan Wore Chaps is a coming of age memoir. After surviving polio and an eye operation, a ten year old boy escapes into a world of imagination where Tarzan rules the escarpment, and witches lurk behind shuttered windows. Follow Woody as he makes youthful mistakes, and tries to come to grips with the adult world around him, unaware of the escalating Vietnam conflict a half a world away. Tarzan Wore Chaps is a book for the young, and the young at heart. Come romp dark alleys, and play hide-and-seek in a world before terrorism when children ruled the night.
