A Whale for the Killing: Book Guide, Author and Facts
A Whale for the Killing by Farley Mowat: plot, author, genre and where to read, in one evergreen guide.
In the 1960s, Farley Mowat was living in the tiny fishing community of Burgeo on the southwest coast of Newfoundland. When an 80-ton fin whale became trapped in a nearby saltwater lagoon, 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, blasting the whale with rifle fire and hacking open her back with a motorboat propeller.
