What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding
The first U.K. trade edition of 'Moby Dick' to be illustrated by Rockwell Kent.
Illustrated with head and tail pieces, and the occasional in-text illustration.
'Moby Dick' is one of the Great American Novels, though its brilliance was only recognised in the twentieth century, after the death of the author, Herman Melville. The famous novel tells of Ishmael and his captain's maniacal quest for revenge on the great white sperm whale Moby Dick.
