I hadn't realized that what I had read of Don Quixote in high school was only about half the book. There are so many more stories here! I love how the book is stories within stories all focused around Don Quixote's belief that he's a chivalrous knight. He drags others through his adventures and they decide that his books of fiction, which obviously caused his dementia, are too dangerous. The stories serve to point out that great works of fiction add to our lives by providing escape and entertainment and are not dangerous at all. no reviews | add a review
