Book onto this Mysterious Journey
This is one of the most enchanting books about whales I have ever read. It is sensitvely written with a balance of facts and sentimentality but with an overwhelming sense of spirituality and an enormous amount of love. You simply do not realise how much you are learning while you are reading it because it is so cleverly written.The chapter on plankton is so magical it still leaves me tingling.

On completion of this book I have organised a visit to Baja to see these friendly whales for myself. If you love whales you will love this book.
