Soft Covers. Condición: VG+. No Jacket. Winnie van't Hof Ilustrador. 1st. Sub-titled "The Story of New Zealand's Famous Dolphin" this account of the life, times, habits and frolics of Pelorus Jack, is aimed mainly at young readers. Surprising, in view of the dolphin's fame, not a great deal of literary effort has been devoted to the "story" over the years. However, this little book tells the tale simply, but fully. The dolphin became famous world-wide for escorting Cook Strait shipping in Marlborough Sounds and into the strait.This continued for 25 years until, early in 1912, this unique specimen, protected by an Act of Government, simply vanished, a mystery never solved. First edition of 1984, 48 pages, numerous sepia tone drawings by Winne van't Hof. Colour art/pictorial card covers VG+, text block excellent, no inscroptions.
