                Zorro  -  Isabel Allende

                   "Z" book  - #2018atozchallenge

Indians, Pirates, Gypsies,  Sword fights!! Oh, my!!!

Well, some of these did happen in this book,  but this is a story about Diego de la Vega as a young man.  We learn how his parents met, when Diego was born and what he was like as a child. We come to know why he was a warrior for the underdog and the helpless and how the persona  of Zorro came about.

We also visit Spain during the time the French were invading the country and where Diego sees more brutal injustices.

All in all, this was an enjoyable, but not adventuress, book. Isabel Allende is a talented author and I was able to travel back in time with her writing.
