An excellent adaptation, in two parts, for young readers. This publisher of a series of graphic novel adaptations of world literature is, somewhat unexpectedly, in India. According to their mission statement their aim is "to enteratin and educate young minds by creating unique illustrated books to recount stories of human values, to arouse curiosity in the world around us, and to inspire by tales of great deeds of unforgettable people." This Don Quixote meets those goals very well indeed. The summarised story includes most of the universally known episodes such as the fight with the windmills or the challenge to the open cage of lions. For readers familiar with the original there are, however, some incongrous details: Sancho Panza's donkey is given the name "Dapple" and the background landscape that is featured in the panels is completely removed from the original setting. Nevertheless, these are minor qualms. The idiosyncratic Don Quixote, his view of honour, dignity and humanity, come through clearly in the text adapted by Lloyd S. Wagner and the drawings of Richard Kohlrus. ( )
