Don Quixote (Candlewick Illustrated Classic)
Don Quixote
Chris Riddell, Martin Jenkins, Miguel de Cervantes
From the award-winning team behind the acclaimed retelling of Jonathan Swift€™s GULLIVER comes an accessible, lavishly illustrated edition of a beloved classic.One of the funniest and most touching novels ever written, Don Quixote has forever memorialized the story of a Spanish gentleman who reads so many books about chivalric knighthood that he is convinced his own destiny is to become a knight-errant. And so he embarks upon a series of fantastical adventures across sixteenth-century Spain, accompanied by his faithful and philosophical squire, Sancho Panza. Superbly retold by Martin Jenkins and illustrated with great wit and humor by Chris Riddell, this is surely the ultimate edition of a book that takes its place among the best loved in the world.
