The Story of Dr. Dolittle
(eAudiobook)
Description
Hugh Lofting's The Story of Doctor Dolittle is a timeless tale that has delighted readers of all ages for over a century. Published in 1920, this charming story introduces us to the peculiar yet endearing Dr. John Dolittle, whose love for animals transcends the ordinary bounds of human-animal relationships. With the aid of his unique ability to speak the languages of animals, Dr. Dolittle embarks on adventures that are as whimsical as they are heartwarming. It is also important to consider the context of the time in which The Story of Doctor Dolittle was written. The book reflects certain perspectives and cultural attitudes that were common in the early 20th century but may feel outdated or problematic today. We have the opportunity to engage with the story thoughtfully, appreciating its merits while critically examining the parts that no longer align with modern values. Head Stories Audio presents " The Story of Dr Dolittle" by Hugh Lofting. Narrated by Simon Hester, with original music.
