Highlighted by colorful comic-strip-style illustrations, this retelling of the story of Don Quixote captures the deluded knight and his faithful Sancho Panza in some of their most famous adventures.

From Publishers Weekly:
As in Williams's Greek Myths for Young Children and Joseph and His Magnificent Coat of Many Colors , engagingly busy, ornately bordered, comic strip-style artwork gives new and buoyant life to a familiar story. The characteristic understatement of her text, juxtaposed with the humorous mutterings of a quirky cast (delivered in cartoon balloons), breezily chronicles Quixote's hapless quest to "right all wrongs and protect all damsels." (Though Williams's rendition seems appropriate for the intended audience, literary purists may object on principle to the abridgement of such a venerable classic.) Here the would-be knight is rendered as quite the buffoon, as he prepares to tilt at windmills he mistakes for "giants" and battle two "armies" that are actually flocks of sheep. Time after time, Quixote and sidekick Sancho Panza are badly battered (the former is shown losing his ear and some teeth), but always brush themselves off and continue "on their way in search of new adventure worthy of so famous a knight and his faithful squire." A fun way to become acquainted with this masterpiece. Ages 7-up.
