Mowat, Farley A WHALE FOR THE KILLING
Toronto, ON McClelland & Stewart 1972 0771065701 / 9780771065705 First Edition; Second Printing Hardcover Very Good in Good dust jacket
DJ chipped & torn, light shelf wear. Dust jacket in Mylar. "When an 80-ton Fin Whale became trapped in a Newfoundland lagoon, conservationist Farley Mowat rejoiced: here was the first chance to study at close range one of the most magnificent animals in creation. Some local villagers thought otherwise. They blasted the whale with rifle fire and hacked open her back with a motorboat propeller. Mowat appealed desperately to the police, to marine biologists, finally to the Canadian press. But it was too late. Ravaged by an infection resulting from her massive wounds, the whale died."World-renowned for his passionate tales of survival, Farley Mowat wrote his new book to symbolize the plight of all whales preyed on by man for commercial profit. A Whale for the Killing is an urgent, eloquent plea to stop the massacre now...before the entire species is doomed to extinction."

Mowat, Farley The Boat Who Wouldn't Float
London Heinemann 1970 0434479853 / 9780434479856 1st UK Hardcover Very Good+ in Very Good- dust jacket
DJ shows light soil and edge wear ; A bright, solid book, DJ in protective Mylar sleeve, unclipped. ; 1.2 x 8.3 x 5.8 Inches; 243 pages; "It seemed like a good idea. Tired of everyday life ashore, Farley Mowat would find a sturdy boat in Newfoundland and roam the salt sea over, free as a bird. What he found was the worst boat in the world, and she nearly drove him mad. The Happy Adventure, despite all that Farley and his Newfoundland helpers could do, leaked like a sieve. Her engine only worked when she felt like it. Typically, on her maiden voyage, with the engine stuck in reverse, she backed out of the harbour under full sail. And she sank, regularly. How Farley and a varied crew, including the intrepid lady who married him, coaxed the boat from Newfoundland to Lake Ontario is a marvellous story. The encounters with sharks, rum-runners, rum and a host of unforgettable characters on land and sea make this a very funny book for readers of all ages." Mowat is a master at taking his youthful experiences and creating hilarious stories for our entertainment.
