Famous and beloved classics are reinterpreted to capture the attention of young audiences in this engaging book series. This magnificently illustrated edition of Herman Melville's Moby Dick brings new life to the timeless story of Captain Ahab's monomaniacal quest for revenge on the sperm whale, Moby Dick.

The author has skilfully maintained the spirit of the original novel while recounting it with fresh and accessible language. This series is designed to make children fall in love with literature and characters they will likely encounter again as older readers.

Even the illustrations bring new life to the story, with a colourful, contemporary, and almost cinematic style.
