About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of The Curse of Capistrano (Dramatic Reading) by Johnston McCulley. Dramatically read in English by volunteer readers. The Curse of Capistrano is the first work to feature the fictional character Zorro (the Spanish word for "fox"). The story was later republished under the name The Mark of Zorro. The outlaw Zorro is Public Enemy #1 in southern California during the period of Mexican rule. But he's not a bad guy, really - he fights for justice for the oppressed. And when he meets the lovely Lolita, daughter of Don Pedro, who is on the governor's bad side, he has even more reason to fight. But she's being wooed by the rich and influential but wimpy Don Diego... - Summary by TriciaG
