The Story of Doctor Dolittle

The Story of Doctor Dolittle

By Hugh Lofting & Golden Quill Classics Classics 15/09/2025

What if you could speak the language of every animal?

The Story of Doctor Dolittle (1920), by Hugh Lofting, is a timeless children's classic about kindness, imagination, and the magic of communication.

The tale follows Doctor John Dolittle, a kind-hearted physician who discovers he has a remarkable gift—the ability to talk with animals. Trading his human patients for animal companions, he sets out on incredible adventures, sailing across the seas, curing exotic creatures, and proving that compassion and understanding can overcome any obstacle.

Filled with humor, wonder, and unforgettable characters like Polynesia the parrot and Gub-Gub the pig, Lofting's story is more than just an adventure—it is a celebration of empathy, friendship, and the joy of living in harmony with nature.

Loved by generations of readers, The Story of Doctor Dolittle remains one of the most charming and imaginative books ever written for children.
