The classic story of the extraordinary animal doctor from Puddleby-on-the-Marsh - Doctor Dolittle.

Once upon a time, many years ago - when our grandfathers were little children - there was a doctor, and his name was Dolittle - John Dolittle M.D.

Doctor Dolittle likes animals. In fact, he likes them so much he fills his house with every kind of creature imaginable and even learns to talk their language. And when the Doctor hears of a terrible sickness among the monkeys in Africa, soon he and his animal friends are setting off on the most unforgettable adventure . . .

Praise for The Story of Doctor Dolittle

A work of genius. It is it the first children's classic since Alice

Hugh Walpole

Lofting was a genuinely original writer with an unusually inventive mind and a great gift for adventure.

Twentieth-Century Children's Writers

Any child who is not given the opportunity to make the acquaintance of this rotund, kindly and enthusiastic doctor and all his animal friends will miss out on something important.

Jane Goodall

There are few kindlier heroes in children's literature. And none to match his gift for understanding animals.

Blake Morrison, The Guardian
