'A deliciously funny novel and an affectionate offering to all that is noblest and least changing in the people and life of Spain' The Times

Driven away from his parish by a censorious bishop, Monsignor Quixote sets off across Spain accompanied by a deposed renegade mayor as his own Sancho Panza, and his noble steed Rocinante - a faithful but antiquated SEAT 600. Like Cervantes's classic, this comic, picaresque fable offers enduring insights into our life and times.
