Moby Dick

Herman Melville was a sailor before he was a famous author, and he pulled from his seafaring experience when he wrote “Moby Dick; Or the Whale” in 1851. Now, here is the fun just-for-kids version of Herman Melville's classic “Moby Dick”, abridged and retold while remaining true to Melville's original text. The whaling ship sailor Ishmael tells the tale of Captain Ahab's obsessive quest to get revenge on Moby Dick, the legendary giant white sperm whale who bit off his leg!

Melville was an American novelist, short story writer, and poet. He also worked as a schoolteacher, clerk, and sailor. His writing was not well known at the time of his death; however, in years since “Moby Dick” has become known as one of the greatest novels of all time.
