Description

Unearth the enchanting world of Doctor John Dolittle, a beloved character penned by Hugh Lofting in 1920. Dr. Dolittle wasn't your ordinary physician. Instead of treating humans, he had a unique gift – communicating with animals in their native tongues. This extraordinary talent led him on a journey of discovery, becoming a revered naturalist and uncovering nature's secrets through his profound animal conversations. These captivating tales, originally conceived in heartfelt letters from Lofting to his children during World War I, unfold in the charming Victorian-era setting of Puddleby-on-the-Marsh.
