By Dianna Dilworth 

Scientists believe that they have located the tomb of author Miguel de Cervantes in Spain.

The Don Quixote author died in 1616, but his coffin was moved after his initial burial.

They believe they have found the bones of Cervantes, his wife and others recorded as buried with him in Madrid’s Convent of the Barefoot Trinitarians. Separating and identifying his badly damaged bones from the other fragments will be difficult, researchers say.

To celebrate this discovery, here is a link to a free eBook version of Don Quixote.
