The Mark of Zorro
Johnston Mcculley
Read by Mark F. Smith





In Spanish California, a troubling pattern had developed. The natives were reduced to peasants, the Franciscan friars that ministered to them were derided, and the only people who mattered were the caballeros – who styled themselves as knights of the New World. These men strutted about in elegant clothes, riding magnificent horses, and sporting rapiers at their sides that they were quick to draw if they felt their honor was affronted.
Into this world burst Zorro (Spanish for “fox”). A later-day Robin Hood, he stole from the rich and gave to the poor, but he also took it upon himself to punish men who had notably abused others. Cloaked and masked, appearing suddenly from the dark, he always stayed ahead of the manhunt launched at his heels.
The authorities called him a highwayman.
And when the doings of a corrupt governor began to affect the good people around the pueblo of early Los Angeles, Zorro responded – vigorously. Summary by Mark Smith (7 hr 35 min)

A thoroughly entertaining romp read with aplomb. A versatile turn of voice gave vivid life to all characters presented therein.

Great reader, but the story is a little simple. It's quite entertaining though and the culture is fun.





It is a joy to listen to the readings of Mark Smith in any work he reads!
