Chasing After Zorro 6 reviews
Britt Lomond
Cork Hill Press, 2004
A Great Book from Zorro's Greatest Nemesis
For those of us who remember the Zorro television series (the Walt Disney one, which is the only one for true Zorro fans), this book is a treasure. Britt Lomond gives us an interesting and informative tour of the first 13 episodes of the Zorro TV show, the ones in which he played the villian, Capitan Monastario. As many others have noted, he set the standard for villians in the series, and even ...

William Mccay
Aladdin, 1998
Zorro is the greatest!
im like the biggest fan of Zorro. When I read this book I couldn't put it down. The only problem with this book was that Alejandro wasn't married to Elena and they were in the movie. But besides that it was a great book!

Rebecca Hickox
Doubleday Books for Young Readers, 1997
Excellent book for any age!
Quwi, a sly guinea pig, outwits Zorro, a malicious fox, who repeatedly tries to make a meal out of him. Zorro and Quwi is an outstanding example of quality children's literature. This book is highly entertaining for a person of any age. This story if full of action, and the illustrations are highly complimentary. It contains humor and the characters are easy to understand. A clear pattern is ...

El Lobo was great!
This book is part of the Very Good "Perros Salvajes" series in Spanish. It is written for the first through fifth grade. It is simple but factual with beautiful pictures of wolves in their natural environment. Excellent for students to use for reports or mini research papers.

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 ...

Johnston McCulley
Forge Books, 1998
A Wonderful Romp
I found "The Mark of Zorro" to be a wonderful romp through a bygone era.
I read this book out loud to my father, and we could hardly put it down. If you like swashbuckling adventures, heroes who stand against injustice and play their part in the struggle between good and evil. Then "The Mark of Zorro" is for you. And if you enjoy finding the origins of things, as much as I do, then this book ...

A Guide To Zorro Collectibles From The Fifties And Sixties
I Just finished reading "A Guide To Zorro Collectibles From The Fifties And Sixties," by Rochelle Dubrow. As a collector I find it, a very exciting book! It not only list the items but it gives an illustration of the collectibles making it easier to identify when you are looking for them. Zorro hit the TV airwaves in 1957 and with it was a whole avalanche of merchandise. Till now, the only way to ...

This graphic novel provides a totally new perspective of Zorro! The manga style adds a different tone in the atmosphere of the comic! It is a masterpiece written by Don McGregor, the Legend behind Zorro! If you like Zorro, you will love this new form of the masked hero!

D. J. Arneson
Bantam Books, 1986
Outstanding adventure!!!!
I first stumbled across this when i was in High School. The book along with it's sequel Zorro Rides again were in a local barnes and Noble and I snatched them up. The story is very epic and exciting and i must have read it a thousand times. At the end of McCulley's Mark of zorro the dual identity of Don diego/Zorro is revealed openly. however, this is ignored in this volume and while betrothed to ...

Review of the book & of the person who posted few posts belo
I've read the book, and Bill Yenne's too. Both books offer up different points of view and are both valid. Problem is the person who posted this... Full of errors and false information Reviewer: A reader from the United States November 28, 1999 Seems to have some issues with Sandra Curtis and the people who own the character Zorro. I mean belittling someone the way this ...

Best Zorro story ever
I remember watching Zorro on TV as a child--the series produced by Disney--and I loved it. Movies about Zorro have been fun to watch but they never captured what I remember in the series. That is that the hero, Zorro used his wits and physical skills to outwit the bad guys and help to free innocent victims. There was always a little humor too.
This book is more of a "biography" of how Don ...

Minnie and Moo and the Musk of Zorro4 reviews
Denys Cazet, 2008
We Could be Heroes--Just for One Day
This is a zany, beautifully illustrated children's book that will have most adults laughing as well. Minnie and Moo are two cows whose main gift is the ability to give a gallon of milk each day. But Moo, wanting more, and inspired by a book of heroes called "The Musk of Zorro," persuades Minnie that they should and could be heroes. They take their cues from a misread "Zorro" book (or a version ...

The Zorro Television Companion: A Critical Appreciation4 reviews
Gerry Dooley
McFarland & Company, 2005
A must-have for all Zorro fans
This book surpasses all previous attempts to document the making of this landmark television series by leaps and bounds. Previously little known behind-the-scene facts are presented, detailed episode recaps with author commentary, rare photos, etc. Truly a must have for all Zorro and Guy Williams fans. Great job, Gerry Dooley.

Zorro LP: A Novel2 reviews
Isabel Allende
HarperLargePrint, 2005
Thoroughly enjoyable
I'm not much for current fiction authors, especially if they don't write in English, but as a baby boomer, I'm an old Disney Zorro fan, so I decided to give this book a try. I was really surprised at how well this "literary" author constructed a backstory for what is, in essence, a pulp hero. Allende begins with a look at Diego de la Vega's father, not-yet-Don Alejandro, as a young military man ...

Isabel Allende
Plaza & Janes Mexico, 2005
The First Superhero with a Literary Sensibility
Allende's "Zorro" contains Creoles and is itself a Creole: A seemingly odd, even daring mixture of the pulp genre with a literary flair. The result works far better than one might expect. Zorro, with his mild mannered playboy affection and crime fighting costumed identity inspired imitators such as The Shadow, who in term directly inspired Bob Kane and Bill Finger to create Batman, leading to ...
