Doctor John Dolittle is the central character of a series of children's books by Hugh Lofting starting in 1920 with, "The Story of Doctor Dolittle." He 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.
This book has 24 full-page illustrations drawn by the author. Three are in color.
"The Voyages of Dr. Dolittle" picks up where "The Story...." left off. Bored with England, Dr. Dolittle seeks new lands, people and most importantly, animals. With a new helper and the reappearance of Bumpo, Chee-Chee, Jip and others, "The Voyages" is adventures on the high sea, new land, people, and animals. Dr. Dolittle is even crowned King, but you'll have to read it, or read it to your child to see how THAT happened.
* This e-book is a true representation, hand-transcribed from a high-definition scan of a pre-1923 print version of the book. Unlike other e-copies of the book, it was not produced by using Optical Character Recognizion (OCR). OCR-scanning old books is seldom, if ever, error-free. This often results in an e-book with many **, ^^, >> and typographic errors when OCR can't read the word or punctuation correctly.
* "True representation" that many typographic, spelling, or grammatical errors in the print version of the text have been retained. Changes have been made only when the editor deemed the error serious enough to affect comprehension.
* In other words, no changes or as few as possible have been made to either illustrations or text in order to bring you an e-book that is as close to the original as possible.
