About This Book
A thrill-a minute ride set in the days of Spanish colonialism in California,
where thugs and greedy tyrants try to wrest every penny from peasants . . . and
the one hero who defends the common man is the mysterious masked stranger who
calls himself Zorro--The Fox! The first Zorro story appeared as a 5-part serial
in All-Story Weekly, a famous American pulp fiction magazine, starting in the
August 9, 1919 issue. In a case of fortunate timing, Douglas Fairbanks, the
silent movie star, was in the process of trying to change his image at the time,
and he chose Zorro as his next starring role. In 1920, when the romantic
swashbuckler debuted, it set movie box office records. Riot police had to
disperse the huge crowds that showed up at the New York opening. Zorro entered
the public consciousness and is now a part of popular culture, the same as such
heroes as Superman, Tarzan, and The Lone Ranger. The rest is history.
