Product Description

Welcome two new Candlewick Illustrated Classics!
These collectible editions bring treasured stories to life with lavish full-color interior illustrations and elegant French flaps.

Jan Needle abridges Herman Melville’s epic to focus on the intensely dramatic story of Captain Ahab’s ill-fated quest for the white whale, while Patrick Benson’s powerful illustrations evoke the lost world of whaling
in enormous detail. A compelling invitation to readers who may one day explore the full text of Moby-Dick.

Patrick Benson has illustrated dozens of children's books, including OWL BABIES by Martin Waddell, SQUEAK'S GOOD IDEA by Max Eilenberg, THE SEA-THING CHILD by Russell Hoban, and THE MINPINS by Roald Dahl. The recipient of a Mother Goose Award in 1984, Patrick Benson lives in Hawick, England.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Illustrated Edition!, Nov 30 2009

By Italy 78 "Italy 78" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Moby-Dick: Candlewick Illustrated Classic (Paperback)

I have purchased Candlewick Illustrated Classics before so I knew this one would most likely be a good buy and it was. The illustrations are great, one on pretty much every page, and the quality of the book in terms of paper used and binding is also very high. While this book is surely for an independent reader (I would say nine years up) I have purchased it with my seven year old in mind and I think that the beautiful illustrations will keep her attention focused on the book as I read it to her.
