Doctor Dolittle

About the Story

Doctor Dolittle

Hugh Lofting (1886-1947) was born in England and worked as a civil engineer. While serving in WWI, Lofting wrote and illustrated a series of letters to entertain his children, which featured the adventures of Doctor John Dolittle, a medical doctor who could talk to animals. The Story of Doctor Dolittle was published in 1920, and Lofting’s second novel, The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle (1922), won the Newberry Medal in 1923. Lofting went on to write eight more Doctor Dolittle novels. The character of Doctor Dolittle has become one of the most popular characters in the history of children’s literature.
