Synopsis

In Spanish California, a troubling pattern had developed. The natives were reduced to peasants, the Franciscan friars that ministered to them were derided, and the only people who mattered were the caballeros – who styled themselves as knights of the New World. These men strutted about in elegant clothes, riding magnificent horses, and sporting rapiers at their sides that they were quick to draw if they felt their honor was affronted.

Into this world burst Zorro (Spanish for “fox”). A later-day Robin Hood, he stole from the rich and gave to the poor, but he also took it upon himself to punish men who had notably abused others. Cloaked and masked, appearing suddenly from the dark, he always stayed ahead of the manhunt launched at his heels.

The authorities called him a highwayman.

And when the doings of a corrupt governor began to affect the good people around the pueblo of early Los Angeles, Zorro responded.

Goodreads review by Miranda on December 10, 2020

Daring, Dashing and Delightful! Originally released as a serialized novel, each chapter reads as a mini-story thus producing a loosely connected full novel. Zorro, aka Don Diego, wages war single-handedly against the corrupted and aids the downtrodden. The comical back and forth between the perso......more

Goodreads review by Anne on April 04, 2025

So. Much. Fun. Top to bottom, this was great. As an adventure story, this has it all - swordfights, near escapes, secret identities, romance, and deliciously colorful villains! Normally when I hear that something was serialized, I just assume it's going to be a bit too long and full of unnecessary fil......more

A playdate-BR with Alex and Craig to revive the legend of El Zorro and test our skills in writing the first letter of our names using smth sharp :D Yeah, IKR, I should give up reviewing and start carving 😃 I guess we don’t need introduction to the Spanish Robin Hood. But to tell the truth, I didn’t k......more

Goodreads review by Werner on December 15, 2024

After service in World War I as an Army public relations officer (another job that provided a groundin......more
