Don Quixote of La Mancha (Yesterday's Classics)

By Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

Book Overview

Widely recognized as the first novel in European literature, this edition is an adaptation of the work written in two parts in Spanish by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, translated by John Ormsby, and abridged and edited by Mabel F. Wharton, with dozens of footnotes to explain unfamiliar terms. Now younger students can enjoy the adventures of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, his squire, featuring the crazy knight on his broken-down old plow-horse, in his rusty armor, his helmet mended with bits of green ribbon, and portly Sancho, faithful, grumbling when hungry, cheerful when fed, shrewd and talkative, jogging behind him on Dapple, his sturdy mule, "the light of his eyes."
