Don Quixote book - Flame Tree Publishing

After a lifetime of reading books about chivalry in his library, the eccentric Don Quixote sets out on a quest to become a wandering knight accompanied by his unfortunate servant, Sancho Panza. Don Quixote embarks on a comedic journey through medieval Spain, in a series of clumsy adventures, fighting windmills and rescuing those even more hopeless than himself.
