Description
Don Quixote and the Windmills is a picture-book adaptation of the classic tale by Miguel de Cervantes. The story follows a man named Quexada, who after reading many books about knights, renames himself Don Quixote and sets out on adventures with his loyal squire Sancho Panza. When they encounter a row of windmills, Don Quixote mistakes them for giants and prepares to fight, while Sancho Panza tries to convince him they are only windmills. The book is set in the Spanish countryside and presents the events of Don Quixote's mistaken battle.
