The prize-winning translation of Miguel de Cervantes's mock-epic masterwork Don Quixote has become so entranced by reading romances of chivalry that he determines to become a knight errant and pursue bold adventures, accompanied by his squire, the cunning Sancho Panza.

John Rutherford's landmark translation of Don Quixote won the 2002 Premio Valle Inclan prize for translation.
