Sinopse
Características

Doctor Dolittles Post Office (1920) is a childrens fantasy novel by Hugh Lofting. The novel is the third in a series of fifteen books featuring Doctor Dolittle, a character created by Lofting in letters written to his wife and children at home while he served in the Great War. Beloved by generations of adults and children for their imaginative nature and moral worldview, Loftings books have inspired numerous adaptations for theater, film, and television. Doctor John Dolittle is an ordinary physician with an extraordinary gift. Renowned for his ability to communicate with animals, Dolittle has made a name for himself as a traveling veterinarian with a generous heart and a courageous spirit. On the West Coast of Africa, he finds himself enlisted to help rescue the captives on an illegal slave ship, earning him the respect of the people of Fantippo. There, he befriends King Koko, who encourages him to open the small kingdoms first postal service, allowing them to communicate with distant continents using thousands of migratory birds. Told in episodic fashion, and with each episode containing wilder and more wonderful adventures than the next, Loftings novel features a lost island filled with prehistoric beasts, the invention of an alphabet for animals, and a tortoise who has been alive since before the Great Flood. Doctor Dolittles Post Office is a delightful work of fantasy for children and adults alike. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Hugh Loftings Doctor Dolittles Post Office is a classic of English childrens fiction reimagined for modern readers.
