Who is Don Quixote? He is the subject of a famous early 17th century novel. Quixote is a dreamer and a gentle buffoon, an aging gentleman who sets out from his village of La Mancha to perform acts of chivalry in the name of his grand love Dulcinea. He rides a decrepit horse, Rocinante, and is accompanied by his "squire," the peasant Sancho Panza. Quixote's imagination often gets the better of him; in once famous incident he tilts at windmills, imagining them to be giants. Throughout his many adventures Quixote often seems ridiculous, yet he maintains his staunchly hopeful attitude and belief in chivalry. (The term quixotic now describes anyone who takes on an idealistic or foolish quest against great odds.) The book Don Quixote inspired the 1959 play Man of La Mancha, in which Quixote's quest is summed up in the song "The Impossible Dream." This is a NEW IN THE BOX SET. Features finely crafted HAND PAINTED coldcast resin figures. Dimensions: King: 3-1/4", Base: 1-1/8". THE SET COMES WITH a very nice 15" X 15" walnut board with pedestal feet. Dimensions: Border: 13/16", Sq: 1-9/16", Overall: 15"x15"x3/4". NOTE: These chess pieces are available without a board in our Ebay store.
