A rare first edition of Miguel de Cervantes' "Don Quixote", published 400 years ago, has been unearthed in Spain, Spanish television reported late.A group of experts are investigating whether the tome, found near the southern city of Murcia, is a first edition from 1605.
Only 18 are known to exist worldwide, four of them in Spain.
...
The tome emerged when the hamlet of Alhama organised a Quixote exhibition, calling on local children to bring a copy from their parents' collection.
One child brought along an edition explaining it was a family heirloom which had belonged to an ancestor who lived in Cuba.
