We tend to forget what a great fictional creation Zorro is.

Here are 11 of his classic adventures -- 10 short stories and a novelette -- which have been unavailable for over a half-century. As Zorro or as the languid Don Diego, our hero is resourceful and witty. He fights for the oppressed. Thew soldiers he fights against are honorable and brave, and Zorro respects them, reserving his contempt for their political masters.

It is amazing how "politically correct" the original Zorro stories are. Written at a time when magazines didn't think twice abouvt using terms like "spic" or "greaser", here we have a Hispanic hero helping people protect thier rights. Often, we find ourselves apologizing for the language and attitude of previous generations; you don't have to do that with Zorro.

No Zorro fan of any generation will fail to be thrilled by these adventures!

A wonderful book for all the Zorros fans, McCulley has a great gift to put you like a cat on hot bricks, his stories are exciting, passionating, you are on the edge of your seat all along, I loved the book so much, I finished in a whole day and night ! a must read !
