Manderino Library Book Club--February Selection--Isabel Allende's Zorro: A Novel

"The original Zorro seems to have sprung full-blown--and doubtless up to the nearest chandelier--from the head of Johnston McCulley in 1919. McCulley was a 36-year-old former police reporter, and his pulp serial The Curse of Capistrano may have been inspired by that most politically incorrect of Robin Hoods, the Scarlet Pimpernel. But in most respects it was original, and from the moment Douglas Fairbanks put on his cape and mask and stepped in front of a camera, it was also wildly popular."--New York Times Book Review, May 15, 2005, p.31.
