‘The Story of Doctor Dolittle’ is the first entry in the internationally renowned series that brought one of literature's most beloved children's characters to life.

Hopelessly charming and wonderfully brilliant, discover the world that inspired Robert Downey Junior's ´Doctor Dolittle’ and Jim Carrey’s ‘Ace Ventura: Pet Detective’.

"Doctor Dolittle" is a children’s fantasy series set in Victorian England, featuring the famous English physician who can speak to animals. His adventures are compelling, humourous, and quite extraordinary, turning the series into a children’s classic. Adapted into numerous animations and movies, the most recent one being the 2020’s version starring Robert Downey Jr. and Antonio Banderas. Hugh Lofting (1886-1942) was a British author of children’s books and poetry, and he is best remembered for his creation of the enigmatic Doctor Dolittle: a globe-trotting physician with the ability to speak to animals. Affected by his experiences as a veteran of the First World War, Hugh Lofting focused his imagination on the more beautiful, fantastic things in life. His wonderful imagination created some of the most beloved children’s books of all time, most famous among them ‘Doctor Dolittle’, ‘The Twilight of Magic’ and ‘Victory for the Slain’.
