No one loves and understands animals more than the eccentric nineteenth-century physician Doctor Dolittle---who masters animal language with the help of Polynesia the parrot. After his human patients desert him, the kind-hearted doctor finds his calling in practicing animal medicine, and his fame spreads far and wide. When a terrible epidemic breaks out among the monkeys in Africa, Doctor Dolittle sets out to save them, accompanied by some of his favourite pets Gub Gub the pig, Jip the dog and Polynesia the parrot. Thus begins the amusing, whimsical adventures of The Story of Doctor Dolittle. The original edition of the book The Story of Doctor Dolittle included language and plot elements that are considered racist by present-day standards, the book The Story of Doctor Dolittle was written in 1920 and Hugh Lofting probably had not intended to offend in any way, in fact when you look at The Story of Doctor Dolittle, Hugh Lofting showed great respect for the African character, a young prince living in Africa, who was educated, and liked to read books. I have tried for this Audio Book Production not to destroy what was written, I have deleted as much as possible any offending text wit
