You are bidding on six (6) books by Hugh lofting in the classic "Dr. Dolittle" series. All show signs of age, described in detail after each book. Good reading copies.
Dr. John Dolittle is a doctor who shuns human patients in favour of animals, with whom he can speak in their own languages. He later becomes a naturalist, using his abilities to speak with animals to better understand nature and the history of the world.
Doctor Dolittle first saw light in the author's illustrated letters to children, written from the trenches during the First World War when actual news, he later said, was either too horrible or too dull. The stories are set in early Victorian England where Doctor John Dolittle lives in a fictional village in the West Country.
1. "THE VOYAGES OF DR. DOLITTLE"
Doctor John Dolittle, the veterinarian who can actually talk to animals, sets sail on the high seas for new adventures! Accompanied by his young friend Tommy Stubbins and the beloved animals of his household -- Polynesia the parrot, Jip the dog, and Chee-Chee the monkey -- the good doctor is off to forbidding Spider Monkey Island to examine the rare jabizri beetle.
