How Old Stormalong Captured Mocha Dick was written by Irwin Shapiro and illustrated by Donald McKay. The tall-tale children's book was first published as a hardcover on 1942, by Julian Messner.
The book features the legendary American folklore sailor, Alfred Bulltop Stormalong. Stormalong was a giant of a man—standing four fathoms tall (24 feet). In the story, he battles and captures the famous legendary white sperm whale, Mocha Dick, with a harness.
The delightful illustrations bring the seafaring tale to life for young readers.
