About this Item

1st Edition. 184pp. Octavo. Original green cloth. Silver lettering on spine. Illustrated with B/W drawings. Textblock tight. Signed by Haig-Brown on the half title.

Light rubbing to extremities of boards; some sunning to spine. The book itself is in good condition. A previous owner though took it upon themselves to tape the inside corners of the jacket to the book itself. Unfortunately, tape residue remains. Fortunately, you can't see this when the book is closed.

In the tradition of the outdoor adventure novel, The Whale People takes the reader on a compelling trek through pre-Columbian life on the West Coast and through the coming of age of Atlin, son of the great whaling chief of the Hotsath people. Haig- Brown tells the story in a wonderful, enchanting way.

Book of the Year for Children by the Canadian Library Association in 1964.
