Don Quixote
By Miguel de Cervantes
Illustrated by Chris Riddell
This is the ultimate edition of one of the world's best-loved books.
The famous tale of Don Quixote, an elderly Spanish gentleman, who reads one too many chivalric romances, and decides to become a knight-errant, accompanied by his faithful "squire" Sancho Panza. He sets off on his travels through sixteenth-century spain for adventures, which are both comic and romantic.
- Chris Riddell’s Don Quixote may well rank alongside the work of Doré, Dali and Picasso -- and other great artists who’ve been inspired by the book.
- Martin Jenkins’ superb abridgement remains faithful to everything in Cervantes original novel.
