Don Quixote

<p>Except the Bible no book has been so widely diffused as Don Quixote. What then is the secret of this unparalleled popularity increasing year by year for well-nigh three centuries? One explanation no doubt is that of all the books in the world Don Quixote is the most catholic. There is something in it for every sort of reader young or old sage or simple high or low. As Cervantes himself says with a touch of pride It is thumbed and read and got by heart by people of all sorts; the children turn its leaves the young people read it the grown men understand it the old folk praise it. But it would be idle to deny that the ingredient which more than its humour or its wisdom or the fertility of invention or knowledge of human nature it displays has insured its success with the multitude is the vein of farce that runs through it.</p><p></p><p>This new large print edition comes with an Easy to Read Layout designed to make reading comfortable.</p>
