Illustrated by
Ed Young.
Using mixed-media collage and text taken from
Moby-Dick, Young and DaCosta have assembled a vivid and thoughtful introduction to Melville's celebrated American epic. Page layouts boldly shift from horizontal to vertical as the tale unfolds. A surprise twist reveals a gentler conclusion: the whale is a googly-eyed toy and the setting a bathtub, accounting for the abbreviated retelling and mellowing the high drama.
