Doctor Dolittle, a little, lovable, old doctor, has so many animal pets spread throughout his house and garden that patients will not come to him anymore. As a result, he becomes poorer and poorer. But he occupies nearly all of his time as the animals' doctor, and soon discovers that he can talk to the animals; Jip the dog, Dab Dab the duck, and Polynesia the parrot.

Doctor Dolittle is one of kind. Not only can he talk to animals - but he can understand them too! One day Doctor Dolittle receives a message from Africa - the monkeys there need his help. So he sails off from his home, bringing along all his pals: Dab-Dab, the duck; Jip, the dog; Gub-Gub, the baby pig; Polynesia, the parrot; and Too-Too, the owl. Join the doctor and his animal friends on an amazing adventure. They even meet the rarest of all animals, the two-headed pushmi-pullyu!  

In this follow-up to the first of Hugh the series though, Lofting assigns the starring role to Tommy Stubbins who is now an "old man". He recalls how he met Doctor John Dolittle and the many adventures they shared. The Doctor is working on learning the language of the Shellfish and their adventures take them from a trial for murder to adventures on the high seas, culminating in their arrival on Spidermonkey Island. Then comes a war between the native tribes, Dolittle being crowned King, the arrival of the Great Glass Sea-Snail and their eventual return to Puddleby-on-the-Marsh. 

Hugh Lofting's wonderfully whimsical story of a doctor whose love of animals allows him to learn their language and becomes a splendid "animal doctor"... with their help. And he even goes all the way to Africa to cure the sick monkeys...it's charming!

Can Dr. Dolittle find his missing friend?

Il personaggio creato con tanto successo da Lofting non poteva essere lasciato dopo solo un libro, e così vengono scritti e pubblicati una serie fortunata di libri in cui le avventure di Dolittle si arricchiscono di un altro protagonista umano, in cui facilmente i ragazzi possono identificarsi.

Hugh Lofting, nelle trincee della prima guerra mondiale, decide di non scrivere ai suoi figli ciò a cui sta assistendo, e allora, nelle sue lettere, scrive loro racconti fantastici, che diventeranno in seguito, nel 1920, le avventure del Dr. Dolittle. Questo personaggio, a cui si sono ispirate molto liberamente varie sceneggiature cinematografiche, è un medico a cui piacciono più gli animali delle "persone di riguardo". Pertanto, con l'aiuto del suo pappagallo Polinesia, impara presto a parlare tutte le lingue degli animali.

Dr. John Dolittle mag Tiere viel lieber als Menschen. Darum stört es ihn auch herzlich wenig, dass immer mehr Patienten seine Praxis meiden. Doch irgendwie müssen die Rechnungen ja bezahlt werden. Zum Glück bringt die Papageien-Dame Polynesia dem Doktor alle Tiersprachen bei. Nun steht einer Karriere als Tierarzt nichts mehr im Wege. So wird Dr. Dolittle bald auf der ganzen Welt berühmt und seine "Hausbesuche" führen ihn sogar bis nach Afrika. Gelesen von Stimmkünstler Rufus Beck begeistert die Geschichte von Doktor Dolittle und seinen tierischen Freunden Groß und Klein.

Hugh John Lofting was born in Maidenhead, Berkshire, on January 14th, 1886 to English and Irish parents. Lofting was initially educated at Mount St Mary’s College in Spinkhill, Derbyshire, a Jesuit boarding school, from the age of eight. By 1905, at age 18, he was to study abroad, taking classes in civil engineering at the esteemed Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the USA. Thereafter he embarked on a quest to travel widely before settling down to write of his adventures.

Doktor med. John Dolittle liebt Tiere: Bei ihm im Haus leben z.B. Dab-Dab, die Ente, Göb-Göb, das Schweinchen, Jip, der Hund, die Eule Tuh-Tuh und die Papageiendame Polynesia. Als seine menschlichen Patienten mehr und mehr ausbleiben, lässt er sich von Polynesia die Sprache der Tiere beibringen und wird Tierarzt. So kann er zum Glück den Affen zur Hilfe eilen, als in Afrika eine schreckliche Krankheit ausbricht! Zum Dank bekommt er ein besonders seltenes Tier geschenkt: Ein Stoßmich-Ziehdich.

Doktor Johann Dolittle kann etwas, worum ihn viele Menschen beneiden: Er spricht die Sprache der Tiere! Und er versteht wie kein anderer ihnen zu helfen, wenn sie einmal in Not sind. Das weiß bald jedes Kind auch weit über die Grenzen von Dolittles Heimat Puddleby hinaus. Sogar bis nach Afrika reicht der gute Ruf des Doktors, so dass ihn eines Tages die Affen um Hilfe bitten. Als er sich mit dem Papagei Polynesia, dem Hund Jip, dem Schwein Göb-Göb und vier weiteren Tieren auf die Reise macht, beginnt ein tierisch turbulentes Abenteuer!

The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle was the second of Hugh Lofting's Doctor Dolittle books published in 1922. This novel takes us to the different adventures of Doctor Dolittle in the Mediterranean, South America, and even under the sea. Doctor Dolittle meets Tommy Stubbins, the young son of the local cobbler, who becomes his new assistant. Tommy learns how to speak animal languages and becomes involved in the Doctor's quest to find Long Arrow, the greatest naturalist in the world.

The good Doctor Dolittle, accompanied by his devoted animal friends, sets sail once again. This time it is a voyage of discovery, to learn the secret of the Shellfish language, and to teach Tommy Stubbins, the Doctor's young protege, all there is to know about animals and their languages. Choosing their destination by opening an atlas, closing their eyes, and touching the page with a pencil, they set off on the most amazing voyage.

Polynesia the parrot, Jip the dog, Too-Too the owl, Dab-Dab the duck, Gub-Gub the pig, Chee-Chee the monkey and many other animals accompany Dr. Doolittle on his adventurs in England, Africa and on the High Seas. Please note - due to certain unfortunate racial epithets and insensitivities contained in the narrative of this book, parental guidance is suggested.

Alan Bennett reads these three enchanting Doctor Dolittle stories. Doctor Dolittle has an extraordinary talent - he can talk to the animals! Taught by his parrot, Polynesia, he is soon able to chat to every kind of creature - and his skill leads him into all sorts of adventures.
