Most of us love a good romance.  Where better to find it than in the tale of El Zorro, the Spanish Californian of the early 19th century, who charmed his way into the hearts of many with his charisma and his daring deeds on behalf of the people in the name of justice.

The character of Don Diego de la Vega and his alter ego, Zorro, was created by Johnston McCulley in 1919.  Originally published in serial form, the "Zorro" tales have inspired countless retellings over the years.  Douglas Fairbanks played the role in a movie, so did Tyrone Power.  Recently, Anthony Hopkins and Antonio Banderas portrayed two generations of Zorros in "The Mask of Zorro."   Television has been no stranger to Zorro either.  Between 1957-59, Disney presented a "Zorro" television series featuring Guy Williams as The Fox.   In the early 1990's Duncan Regehr played the part in yet another "Zorro" television series produced by New World Productions.

The Secret of Zorro is a serial novel which carries on the Zorro story.  And we warn you, there is much carrying on.  While adventures ensue, this is first and foremost a romance.

A word about "ratings."  It is the internet, after all.  "The Secret of Zorro" would, if filmed and rated by the Motion Picture Board, probably get a PG-13 rating.  We pass that on to readers who seek guidance on these matters.

Now for the disclaimer as regards who owns whom. In the complex world of intellectual property, trademark, and copyright law, we readily confess that the several established characters in this story 'borrowed' from Johnston McCulley's pulp fiction and the original Disney series legally belong to others. We are just bringing them out to play.  We hope they consider it worth the experience.
