199) Although it is his famous look, in Doyle's stories he never states that Holmes specifically wears a deerstalker cap.

208. Moby-Dick; or, The Whale was critically panned upon its release. 209. Most people wanted to see Melville return to his old style with his early (and more successful) books, Typee and Omoo. 210.

Moby-Dick is now considered to be a classic and one of the greatest books of all time.
