I have seen multiple posts about the new Zorro show this morning, so I suppose it just started? So, while it is a subject people are talking about:

The very first Zorro book, The Curse of Capistrano, later renamed as The Mark of Zorro, is available for free on Project Gutenberg, and it was genuinely one of my top 2 books of 2022 (it's a tie with the German pirate novel Ein Meer aus Feuer). Genuinely one of the best-paced things I've ever read. 100/10, would absolutely recommend.

#it seems to be a very different story from the show #my Zorro knowledge is... imperfect to say at least #but he seems to have evolved from this Robin Hood figure to a son returning home #also possibly it's not OG Zorro but his son??#also called Diego #not sure though I will have to look further into it at some point #only that this book is so perfect that for the moment I am completely happy to just let it sit on its own #such. a. good. book #I will be chasing this high for many years to come #books #superheroes #western #pulp heroes #Zorro #don diego de la vega #The Mark of Zorro #the Curse of Capistrano #book rec
