Part of the Classic Starts series
A knight battles imaginary foes, questioning reality and sanity in a cynical world.
In 17th-century Spain, Don Quixote, a self-proclaimed knight, embarks on whimsical quests to revive chivalry. With loyal Sancho Panza by his side, he tilts at windmills he believes are giants. Are his adventures mere delusions, or does he see truths others ignore? As he meddles in lives and conjures love, the line between madness and clarity blurs. Dive into a world where imagination challenges reality, and discover if Don Quixote is a fool or a visionary. This retelling invites young readers to explore timeless questions of perception and belief.
