Taking Moby-Dick as his starting point, writer Philip Hoare goes in search of the whale and the men who hunted it, from North Yorkshire to New England and the Azores. In the process, he seeks the truth behind our fascination with the whale - and perhaps discover the reality behind the world's largest and yet most mysterious animals
