The first Don Quixote book was so popular it spawned a lot of fake sequels. Cervantes killed off Don Quixote in the second book to preclude any more copycats. That’s what I remember anyhow from the preface of a paperback edition from way back.

Missed me by that much!

Ah, like the Cone of Silence from “Get Smart!”

One of the noblest and saddest characters in one of the most cruel stories ever written.

It would help if we knew even just a smidgin of what these titles are.
