Be Charmed by These Bewitching Books from 2025
Rani asked this question about Don Quixote:
Which translation of Don Quixote would be the funniest and least archaic in English? I want to read this with my kid who's five. He's enjoyed some books riddled with archaic English such as The Hobbit/LOTR, Dr Dolittle, Peter Pan, Jungle Book/Just So Stories, and his current book crush- Wind in the Willows. But I'm unfamiliar with the Don Quixote translations.
