Reader's note

A brilliant 1956 edition of Doctor Dolittle and the Secret Lake by Hugh Lofting. The reappearance of Dr. Dolittle in the happy homes of England - that indeed is an event to celebrate. Here he is with the old familiar characters: Tommy Stubbins, the doctor's secretary; Too-Too, the Owl mathematician; Dab-Dab the Duck, and Gub-Gub the Pig; Cheapside, the Cockney Sparrow... Beginning in England, the story transports its characters to the Dark continent of Africa. The good Dr. Dolittle is heading an expedition in search of Mudface the Turtle, who lived before the Flood. The thrilling adventures which lead to the discovery of Mudface are of so unusual, yet so 'Hugh Lofting' a kind, that children will have difficulty in getting this book away from their parents.
