THAT WILY QUIXOTE.
Chances are you didn't read Cervantes' masterpiece in the original Spanish, much less in its 17th-century binding. But now through Jan. 15, Baltimore's George Peabody Library lets you at least see an original version.
The library honors the classic's quatracentennial with "Celebrating 400 Years of Don Quixote de la Mancha," including illustrated editions of the windmill tilter's tale, scandalously noted-up versions and a few works that drew their inspiration from the man and his sidekick. English, French and German translations are also on display.
Monday-Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday noon to 5 p.m. About 40 minutes from the Beltway at 17 E. Mount Vernon Pl., Baltimore. 410-659-8179, http:/
