Walter Starkie, noted authority on Spanish history and culture, eminent lecturer, scholar and writer, was for more than twenty years a professor at Dublin
University.From 1940 to 1955, he was director of the British Institution in Madrid.
With these words, Walter Starkie launches the introduction to his highly esteemed translation and abridgment of Cervantes's great classic-a book that has enchanted generations of readers throughout the world.
Brimming with humor, rich in idealism and earthy common sense, vivid in its characterizations of men and women from every walk of life-nobles, priests, impassioned damsels, simple country girls, rogues, and romantics-Don Quixote, in this zestful translation, will win many new friends.
