Editorial Reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute must!, December 23, 1998
By A Customer
If a western-civilization man should read just one book in his life, it must be the Quixote. No other book is so complete! Lucky are those able to read it in its original language.
