A Tale of Change on the Atlantic Shore

Once hunted. Now hailed.

Dildo and the Whale: a Tale of Change on the Atlantic Shore by Jeff Peddle is the unforgettable story of how whales and one little town with a big name helped Newfoundland find itself again.

Set in the heart of outport Newfoundland, Dildo and the Whale dives deep into a world where boiling blubber was once a way of life, and now, boatloads of tourists gather to cheer on the same creatures. From whale bones lining driveways to breaching giants off brewery patios, this book tells the tale of grit, reinvention, and the salty kind of magic only Newfoundland can offer.

With humour, history, and a whale-sized dose of heart, author Jeff Peddle takes you on a journey through Dildo's past and present, where icebergs drift, puffins tumble, and the whales always come back.

Whether you've stood on a tour boat in Witless Bay or just always wanted to know if Dildo is a real place (it is; and you'll love it), this is the book that will make you laugh, tear up, and fall in love with the Rock all over again.

Come for the name. Stay for the story.

Welcome to Dildo.
