Miguel Y Su Valiente Caballero: El Joven Cervantes Suea a Don Quijote (Engle Margarita)(Pevná vazba)

Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra finds refuge from his difficult childhood by imagining the adventures of a brave but clumsy knight. Now available in Spanish, this fictionalized first-person biography in verse of Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra follows the early years of the child who grows up to pen Don Quixote, the first modern novel.
