The Voyage of Doctor Dolittle—the major motion picture starring Robert Downey Jr.—soars into theaters on January 17, 2020! Hugh Lofting’s tales of Doctor Dolittle, the kind and eccentric naturalist who can speak with the animals, have been classics of children’s literature for a century. They have now been assembled in their entirety in this beautiful four volume collection, fully updated for the modern reader by the author’s son, Christopher Lofting. Discover the world of Doctor Dolittle with four novels from the beloved children’s series! This concluding volume delves into prehistorical puzzles that begin with the Doctor’s arrival on the lunar surface in Doctor Dolittle in the Moon. There he not only meets the Moon Man and intelligent plants, but learns how the moon came to be in the first place. In Doctor Dolittle’s Return, he sets out to reveal all he learned on the moon, but is no sooner off to Africa to rescue his old friend, Mudface the turtle, the last living passenger of Noah’s Ark. In Doctor Dolittle and the Secret Lake, we at last hear his fascinating tale of The Great Flood. This complete collection of the tales of Doctor Dolittle concludes with the delectable dessert that is Gub Gub’s Book, in which the famous pig writes a book of his own: an encyclopedia of food!
