A CLASSIC TALE BROUGHT TO VIVID LIFE
A much sought after illustrator and writer Leonard Everett Fisher givesvivid life to this classic tale. The producer of over 200 children'sbooks, his bold full-color pictures are unforgettable images of DonQuixote and Sancho Panza.
This hallmark of Spanish literature by Miguel de CervantesSaavedra was written in 1605 and published to great acclaim. Obviously,it has endured for centuries and will for centuries to come.
As most know, it is a tale of a rather ordinary fellow who hasimmersed himself in so much literature about knighthood that he believeshe can be a knight. The story has become a much heralded Broadwaymusical, and the stuff of which dreams are made.
Sancho Panza, a neighboring farmer, is the rotund companion chosenby Don Quixote. He, too, has become very much a part of our culture as afaithful follower.
Kimmel, speaking for Don Quixote closes this version of his storywith "Our names and the stories of our matchless deeds will resoundthrough the ages." And they have.
