The listing, Vintage Rare 1956 Edition Herman Melville's Moby Dick Young Readers Book has ended.
Herman Melville's enthralling story of Captain Ahab's furious and ill-fated quest for the great White Whale is one of the great books of all time.
This adaption of MOBY DICK for younger readers has been especially prepared to retain the spirit and atmosphere of the original book. Here are all 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.
When your child is a little older, he will want to read the original story of MOBY *****, many times longer than this.
The book is in good shape except for the top binding which I taped.
