This is the first book and the first introduction we have to Zorro - written by McCulley in 1919 - Zorro would of course go on to become one of the great characters in fiction (books, tv, movies).

My four star rating is based on my enjoyment of the book.

It's not really a four star book - it shows it's age, you can guess the end of the book within the first 30 pages, the characters are at best one dimensional BUT I really enjoyed it. I went in knowing what to expect and I was able to overlook the flaws and just revel in the fun that is Zorro.

Reading this was a good time.
