Just in time for the major motion picture Dolittle starring Robert Downey Jr.--soaring into theaters on January 17, 2020! Journey into the world of Doctor Dolittle, the kind and eccentric naturalist who can speak with animals. Working with original author Hugh Lofting's son, these books have been fully updated for the modern reader, all while retaining the full charm of the originals.

Rediscover the children's literature classic with four novels from the beloved series!

This concluding volume delves into prehistorical puzzles that begin with the Doctor's arrival on the lunar surface in Doctor Dolittle in the Moon. There he not only meets the Moon Man and intelligent plants, but learns how the moon came to be in the first place. In Doctor Dolittle's Return, he sets out to reveal all he learned on the moon, but is no sooner off to Africa to rescue his old friend, Mudface the turtle, the last living passenger of Noah's Ark. In Doctor Dolittle and the Secret Lake, we at last hear his fascinating tale of The Great Flood.

This complete collection of the tales of Doctor Dolittle concludes with the delectable dessert that is Gub Gub's Book, in which the famous pig writes a book of his own: an encyclopedia of food!

Hugh Lofting

Hugh Lofting was born in Maidenhead in 1886. He studied engineering in London and America and his work as a civil engineer took him all over the world. He interrupted his career to enlist in the army and fight in the First World War.

Wanting to shield his children from the horrors of combat, including the fate of horses on the battlefield, he wrote to them instead about a kindly doctor who could talk to animals.

After the war he settled with his family in Connecticut and it was from there that he published his Doctor Dolittle books. The Story of Doctor Dolittle was published in 1920, followed by twelve more in the series. The highly acclaimed author died in 1947.
