Two of Billy Graham’s favorite books as a child were The Return of Tarzan and Wild Horse Mesa. Billy Graham loved to read as a child, and later in life wrote, “From my earliest years, Mother encouraged me in the habit of reading. The exploits of Robin Hood in Sherwood Forest entranced me. I read the whole Tom Swift series, and the Rover Boys. Among my favorite adventure readings were the Tarzan books…I tried to imitate Tarzan’s vine-swinging antics and distinctive yell, much to the amusement of Catherine [Billy’s younger sister].”
