Short story:

Richard Bentley of London, UK, publish a new book, The Whale, by Herman Melville. The book will find worldwide fame under the title Moby Dick, and Melville's great white whale will inspire numerous songs including Moby Book by Steve Goodman and Ahab by MC Lars. It's perhaps also worth noting that Led Zeppelin, recorded a tiresome instrumental blues knock-off called Moby Dick and Ahab turns up as a character in the Bob Dylan song Bob Dylan's 115th Dream.
