"The History of Don Quixote, Volume 1, Complete" by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra is a story from long ago about a man named Don Quixote who loved stories about knights so much that he decided to become one himself. He puts on old armor, names his tired horse Rocinante, and goes out into the world looking for adventure. His helper, Sancho Panza, is much more practical and tries to keep Don Quixote grounded. Together, they go on many funny and strange journeys that show what happens when someone's dreams are very different from reality, exploring the idea of what it means to be a hero. The book starts by showing how Don Quixote's love of old stories makes him a bit crazy, but also how he wants to do good things in the world, even if he doesn't always succeed.
