Date: 07 3, 2013
The Lone Ranger is one of those few characters, like Tarzan, Zorro and Mickey Mouse, who isrecognized literally all over the world. But have you ever wondered why he wore a mask? Or (atleast on television) how the masks changed from time to time? The masked man himself gavedozens of different answers to that question, and Clare Sieffert lists and analyzes many of them inthis book. Sieffert has a nice writing style, providing gobs of information but inserting little funcomments along the way, too, looking back from today on a character dating back to 1933 (andstill going strong). She answers questions about which I've wondered for literally half a century! Ihaven't had this much fun since seeing and hearing these shows for the first time.The Lone Ranger is one of those few characters, like Tarzan, Zorro and Mickey Mouse, who isrecognized literally all over the world.
