- Un viejo hidalgo lee tantos libros de caballerías que sale a los caminos como caballero, con el astuto campesino Sancho Panza a su lado, y arremete contra molinos que toma por gigantes. La primera parte es suelta y muy divertida, y su dignidad asoma entre las payasadas.
- The King in Yellow EnglishFair warning, only the first four stories carry the strange, dread-soaked stuff (a play that unhinges anyone who reads act two, an unreliable narrator in The Repairer of Reputations you slowly realize you can't trust), then it drifts into Paris romances. Read it for that front half, which lingers.
- The Sea Hawk EnglishPure swashbuckle done with real bite: Sir Oliver gets betrayed by his own brother, sold to the galleys, and comes back as a Barbary corsair with a grudge you can taste. Sabatini's prose is a bit ornate, but the revenge plot moves like a knife.
