The Curse of Capistrano (Dramatic Reading)


Read by LibriVox Volunteers

(4.8 stars; 32 reviews)

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

The Best Audiobooks with multiples voices


(5 stars)

This is the best audiobook I ever listen until now. I can practice and listening english perfectly with this audiobook. I'm not english native so I can study english and get a better knowledge of this language in listening this novel. Very well interpreted by the actors ! Every english-studdent have to listen it !

Different than the TV shows and movies.


(4.5 stars)

Zorro’s Legend, an old Republic serial, comes closest to this tale. Enjoyable even if you know all the twists. The dramatic reading is like a radio show without the sound effects. Lots of fun.

Excellent !!!!!!
