Hugh Lofting
The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle
Hardcover
(J.B. Lippincott Jan. 1, 1950)
From rear dust jacket notes: "Hugh Lofting...was an officer in the Irish Guards [during World War I] when he found that writing illustrated letters to his children eased the terrific strain of war which he felt so keenly. These letters became The Story of Doctor Dolittle, published in 1920. Since then children all over the world have read it with the eleven others that followed....In 1923 Hugh Lofting won the Newbery Medal for his second story, The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle...."
