Summary: Fair effort..
Review: I bought this book because I am a long standing Zorro fan, and must have everything Zorro. I was filled with anticipation thinking it would be a true 'inside scoop' on the film and literary history of Zorro. While it did have good information, very little of it was new and unique. Most was reprinted from various books, articles, or tv specials. While it was nice having it all in book form, I was rather disappointed there was not that much 'New' information. I thought Bill Yenne's book was better, and had much better photographs, although admittedly he did have the advantage of a Zorro series being in production at the time he wrote it. As a previous reviewer wrote, there were many innaccuracies in the book, and while it would not serve anything to list them, they are there. In any other book we would just shrug and go on, as no one can get everything right. But in a book put out by the wife of the owner of 'Zorro,' we do expect a bit better. I certainly didn't expect to see the tacky, mean-spirited (and untrue) comments about Duncan Regehr. It was quite a jarring chapter in the midst of an otherwise enjoyable book. (I felt that I had opened a supermarket tabloid by mistake)One should never forget the Zorro fandom spans the globe, and we all share information and experiences. Many people had opportunities to visit the set, and become friends with the actors and crew. All of them were generous with their time, and were very enthusiastic about the program and the Zorro legacy. Even now they are all delighted to talk about their experiences and autograph 'Zorro' photos. (Especially John Hertzler and Duncan Regehr) I guess my final word on the book would be, nice information that is mostly accurate, but take the personal comments with a grain of salt.

Summary: It was FANTASTIC!!!!!!
Review: I was always a Zorro fan ever since I saw Guy Willums in the Disney Version.I just couldn't get enough of this masked avenger.I always wanted to be as fast and quick and smart as he was. I am taking Riding Lessions soon and maybe Fencing Lessions too. I might not be as quick as he is, But I know one thing he will always be No# 1 in my book.

Summary: Review of the book & of the person who posted few posts belo
Review: 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, 1999Seems to have some issues with Sandra Curtis and the people who own the character Zorro. I mean belittling someone the way this person did in their review of the book just shows that the person has no valid points on the book because anything the person has said seems to be colored by some other issue not known to those who have come to maybe purchase the book. For those of you out there looking for information on Zorro. This book does give you some of the information and is quite good. Disregard the person with the personal problem and their review. Pick the book up, it's worth the money and also if you can get your hands on the Bill Yenne book do so also. They book will make any "true" Zorro fan happy.

Summary: An enjoyable history of the bold renagade of old California.
Review: This book is a wonderful overview of Zorro, his roots and his world. It is the perfect starting point for new fans and a treasure trove of detail for long time admirers of The Fox. I really enjoyed the chapter devoted to the real history of Spanish Californa. It made me appreciate the swashbuckling romance of Zorro even more. I also loved the section devoted to the definitive Zorro: Guy Williams. This book belongs in the library of every lover of multi-media adventure fiction. The author does a wonderful job and I will treasure this book for years to come.

Review: This novel has got to be the best thing I ever read before. It is very informitive and enjoyable. I especially love the sections on Spanish history etc. and the one, wonderful section on my guy Guy Williams. Sandra Curtis did a good job writing this book. I recommend this to people all over the world. Even if you aren't a Zorro fan! Once I opened the book I couldn't put it down for five hours! That's how good the book is...
