Herman Melville's enthralling story of Captain Ahab's furious and ill-fated quest for the White Whale is one of the great books of all time.
This adaptation of Moby Dick for younger readers has been especially prepared to retain the spirit and atmosphere of the original book. Here are the highlights of the original story: Ishmael's arrival in the busy town of New Bedford, his meeting with the weird savage, Queequeg, Captain Ahab with his ivory leg and his mad vengeance, and the fierce sea battle with the great White Whale.
The dramatic illustrations on every page are in keeping with the spirit of this American classic.
