Comments:The whole story begins when Don Quixote discovers that a book exists which descirbes his exploits--without leaving out one bump or bruise. Very funny stuff to hear fictional characters complain about the way they are portrayed. Also Cervantes uses the first chapters to clean up some mistakes he made in the original (what some scholars call "nodding"). I especially enjoyed Sancho Panza's hemming and hauing over what happened to the 100 crowns he found in the first book which are never hear about again.
