Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 5–8—This beautiful rendition of the beloved novel includes the first and second parts of the story, and a prologue tells about the author. Although the language has been simplified for younger audiences, the narrative maintains its integrity and includes all the important adventures of Don Quixote, such as the encounter with the windmills. Lively watercolors are expressive and capture the story's sense of adventure. This book is a suitable first experience with Cervantes.—Ana Rodriguez, Media Specialist, Tamarac Elementary School, FL

4.0 out of 5 stars Don Quijote still rocks !, February 12, 2010

This review is from: Don Quijote de la Mancha (Clasicos Inolvidables) (Hardcover)

Book was delivered timely and properly packed.
Presentation was fair, as was paper quality.
No footnotes, which ancient Spanish requires.
Print was super small and new chapters were piggybacked upon the last chapter on the same page. Space was used to the max, expected in an economy edition of an extense text.
This is a book to be purchased by a student for required reading, not by a reader expecting to enjoy a classic.

Very good printing and binding and the price is not high for such a good book. I am glad to possess this kind of book, especially in Spanish and for classical works.

This review is from: Don Quijote de la Mancha (Clasicos Inolvidables) (Hardcover)

One of the classic pieces of literature from our era. Don Quixote has been described as one the best novels of all time and everyone should read it at least once in their lifetime. I had the pleasure of reading this novel during my High School years and still remember the wild adventures of Don Quixote and his sidekick Sancho Panza.
