St Mary's books are proud to present this circa 1880s illustrated edition of "The History of Don Quixote" by Miguel de Cervantes, illustrated by Gustave Dore. Handsomely bound in half navy leather with grey cloth boards, this hardback book features intricate gold gilt blind tooling to its spine interspersed by five raised bands and a red leather title band. Inside, one finds i-xxviii and 737 pages of text, brought to life by Gustave Dore's striking black ink illustrations. Within the pages of this book, the reader is treated to this classic tale of an ageing hidalgo who, after reading an abundance of chivalric romances, decides to become a knight-errant. This copy is in good condition - there is some minor staining to the exterior boards, some foxing to the prelims pages, and some bumping to the corners. "Don Quixote" is looking for a new home and would make for the perfect gift for any lover of classic literature.
