BATTLING CRANE'S GIANTS
Follow Don Quixote through the highs and lows of his manic adventures, romances, and windmill/giant battles, as he navigates reality with Sancho Panza in Miguel de Cervantes' globally renowned (1605) parody of chivalric romance.
First retold by Judge Parry with Walter Crane's illustrations in 1900, the pair's jaunty literary focus and bright sketches capture Quixote's overblown dreams in full color and extravagance. Charmingly bound, this 1923 printing is a testament to the eternal appeal of Cervantes' tale.
