![]() The Story of Doctor Dolittle (1920) began the series, and later won the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award (in 1958). He lived in Connecticut, USA whilst writing most of the series. The stories are set in early Victorian England in the 1820s-1840s ( The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle gives a date of 1839). Hugh Lofting's character Doctor John Dolittle, an English physician from Puddleby-on-the-Marsh in the West Country, who could speak to animals, first saw light in the author's illustrated letters to his children, written from the trenches during the War of 1914-18, when actual news, he later said, was either too horrible or too dull. †Copyrighted 1923, but not published until 1948 Doctor Dolittle's Puddleby Adventures (1952) Doctor Dolittle and the Green Canary (1950)ġ2. Doctor Dolittle and the Secret Lake† (1948)ġ1. Lofting is underrated as a writer - his choice of words and narrative is very enjoyable, smart, and without pretension or condescension. ![]() This collection presents the following 7 novels about Dr Dolittle -ĭoctor Dolittle - 01 - The Story of Doctor Dolittle.epubĭoctor Dolittle - 02 - The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle.epubĭoctor Dolittle - 04 - Doctor Dolittle's Circus.epubĭoctor Dolittle - 07 - Doctor Dolittle's Garden.epubĭoctor Dolittle - 08 - Doctor Dolittle in the Moon.epubĭoctor Dolittle - 09 - Doctor Dolittle's Return.epubĭoctor Dolittle - 11 - Doctor Dolittle and the Green Canary.epub ![]() Children's fiction about an English Doctor who talks to the animals. ![]()
