Reader's note

This classic children's book deserves a special place in your heart and on your bookshelf! The very first Dr. Dolittle series were written in French trenches during the First World War. Hugh Lofting sent them as illustrated letters to his two children; instead of telling them about bursting shelf and muddy dugouts he wrote about such fascinating characters as Dab-Dab the duck, Gub-Gub the pig and Polynesia the altogether too knowing parrot. After the war, they were made into a book described by one critic as 'a work of genius'. A beautiful story deserving to be told again and again.
