Description

Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra finds refuge from his difficult childhood by imagining the adventures of a brave but clumsy knight.
This fictionalized first-person biography in verse of Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra follows the early years of the child who grows as much as pen Don Quixote, the first up to date novel. The son of a gambling, vagabond barber-surgeon, Miguel looks to his own imagination for an escape from his circle of relatives’s troubles and finds comfort in his colorful daydreams. At a time when get entry to to books is limited and imaginative books are regarded as evil, Miguel is inspired by storytellers and wandering actors who perform all over festivals. He longs to tell stories of his own. When Miguel is nineteen, four of his poems are published, launching the career of probably the most greatest writers in the Spanish language.
Award-winning creator Margarita Engle’s distinctive picture book depiction of the childhood of the father of the up to date novel, told in a series of free verse poems, is enhanced by Raúl Colón’s stunning illustrations. Backmatter features a note from both the creator and illustrator in addition to additional information on Cervantes and his novel Don Quixote.
