Bookroo's summary

Don Quixote, a self-proclaimed knight, embarks on a quest with his loyal squire, Sancho Panza. Mistaking windmills for fearsome giants, he charges into battle, driven by his vivid imagination. As reality clashes with fantasy, will Don Quixote's dreams of chivalry lead to triumph or folly? Join this whimsical journey where the line between heroism and madness blurs, and discover the heart of a man who dares to dream beyond the ordinary.

From the publisher

A self-proclaimed knight Senor Quexada has read so many books about knights in shining armor that he thinks he is one. He gives himself a name more fitting for a knight – Don Quixote – and sets off one evening with his squire. At dawn they come across what Don Quixote recognizes as an army of monstrous giants. “Master!” cries Sancho Panza. “They are only windmills!” But Don Quixote knows what he has to do . . . Don Quixote is the creation of the Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. Eric A. Kimmel skillfully and cleverly crystallizes the character, and with his powerful line and vibrant color Leonard Everett Fisher completes the funny, loving portrait.
