The beloved first adventure of Doctor Dolittle begins in the quiet village of Puddleby-on-the-Marsh.
In this charming opening volume of the series, Hugh Lofting introduces the kindly physician whose life changes forever when he learns to speak the language of animals. Once an ordinary country doctor, he discovers-through the clever parrot Polynesia-that his true calling lies not with human patients but with creatures great and small.
As word of his remarkable ability spreads throughout the animal kingdom, Doctor Dolittle's quiet existence gives way to extraordinary adventure. When news arrives of a devastating monkey epidemic in Africa, he sets sail across the seas, accompanied by a loyal and unusual crew. Pirates, exotic lands, rare animals, and unexpected dangers lie ahead.
Filled with humor, imagination, and warmth, The Story of Doctor Dolittle launched one of the most enduring series in children's literature, inviting generations of readers to see the world through kinder and more curious eyes.
