Bomba lived far back in the
jungles of the Amazon with a half-demented naturalist who told the lad
nothing of his past. The jungle boy was a lover of birds, and hunted animals
with a bow and arrow and his trusty machete. He had a primitive education in
some things, and his daring adventures will be followed with breathless
interest by thousands.

Publishing info incomplete. As far
as I can guess, the series was initially published by Cupples & Leon,
then reprinted at least twice by Grosset & Dunlap, in the 1950's and the
1970's, and by McLoughlin Bros. Ward, Lock may have only reprinted the first
volume. I'm not sure who the actual writer(s) were.
