The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
"In La Mancha, a province of Spain, lived Don Quixote. . . .He was a kind man, learned perhaps and brave for sure, but no one called him wise.
"When he had nothing to do, which was most of the time, Don Quixote read books of long ago."
So begins The Adventures of Don Quixote as adapted by Leighton Barret from the famous Motteux translation of the great classic Don Quixote de la Mancha. For over three hundred years, young people, as well as grownups, have laughed over and delighted in the strange, outlandish adventures of the chivalrous knight and his faithful squire. Old folks appreciate the satiric humor of the tales, but younger readers love them for the continuous gay adventures, full of impetuous cudgelings, and for the touching faithfulness and service of Pancho and the ever-patient Rozinante. Brilliant indeed is this presentation of the immortal classic, rendered even more so by the beautiful drawings by the well-known artist, Warren Chappell.
