This spectacular book won the 2014 III International Award for Illustration sponsored by Editorial Edelvives, Spain.

This book is homage to Herman Melville and his famous novel Moby Dick. The cover is striking as well as the interior illustrations. The front end papers show a complete map of the Island of Nantucket and the back end papers show the same map outlining the journey that captain Ahab made in search of the big white whale.  

There are impressive drawings of jellyfish, rays, icebergs, constellations, an erupting volcano, a giant octopus, and other amazing sights as he travels in search of his old enemy, while all the time the whale is present in every single page.

Widely appealing for a variety of ages, the words and images combine to create a satisfying mystery of a tangle adventure.
