Description

Tommy Stubbins narrates Doctor Dolittle's voyage to Spidermonkey Island with Polynesia and the push toward Long Arrow, a floating island, and the Sea Snail. Animals work as colleagues while the doctor who listens leads a sequel adventure told through a child's eyes. Named island, named boy, and talk between species across daring miles.

Author

Hugh Lofting (1886?1947) was the English-American creator of Doctor Dolittle, the physician who talks with animals and turned kindness into adventure. The character began in illustrated letters Lofting sent home to his children from the trenches of the First World War, when he preferred to invent cheerful stories rather than describe the war around him.
