Hugh Lofting

Hugh Lofting was born in Maidenhead in 1886. He studied engineering in London and America and his work as a civil engineer took him all over the world. He interrupted his career to enlist in the army and fight in the First World War. Wanting to shield his children from the horrors of combat, including the fate of horses on the battlefield, he wrote to them instead about a kindly doctor who could talk to animals. After the war he settled with his family in Connecticut and it was from there that he published his Doctor Dolittle books. The Story of Doctor Dolittle was published in 1920, followed by twelve more in the series. The highly acclaimed author died in 1947.

Reviews for The Story Of Doctor Dolittle

[Arnold Jack · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Just as fun as I remember it from childhood. The narrator's animal noises are really good!

[Paddy Christian · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Great to listen to with young children or grandchildren especially before bedtime.

[Lauren de Kock · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

Didn't finish it, might look for different version, used racist language and slurs. Perhaps the story is good but I had a conversation with my kids about inappropriate words and were dropped listening.

I could not be more pleased with this reading of Doctor Doolittle. The narrator does a wonderful job bringing life to the good doctor and all his different creatures. It's a great story too, which I remember enjoying as a child and now my own children are enjoying it.

The voices, noises and personalities of all the different animals was brought to life - all so funny and delightful.

My 6 yo boy and 4 yo daughter enjoyed this immensely, recounting it excitedly to their dad each night at the dinner table. Excellent narration complementing a delightful fast-paced story.

This is a riveting story, with many a surprise in the plot; well spoken, great voices for all the characters, and read with much enthusiasm. Great for my kids (aged 4 to 8).
