Puddleby-on-the-Marsh
Doctor John Dolittle is the central character of a series of children's books by Hugh Lofting starting with the 1920 The Story of Doctor Dolittle. He is a physician who shuns human patients in favour of animals, with whom he can speak in their own languages. Black beard bounty. He later becomes a naturalist, using his abilities to speak with animals to better understand nature and the history of the world.[1]
Doctor Dolittle first appeared in the author's illustrated letters to his children, written from the trenches during World War I when actual news, he later said, was either too horrible or too dull. The stories are set in early Victorian England, where Doctor John Dolittle lives in the fictional English village of Puddleby-on-the-Marsh in the West Country.[1]
Doctor Dolittle has a few close human friends, including Tommy Stubbins and Matthew Mugg, the Cats'-Meat Man. The animal team includes Polynesia (a parrot), Gub-Gub (a pig), Jip (a dog), Dab-Dab (a goose), Chee-Chee (a monkey), Too-Too (an owl), the Pushmi-pullyu, and a white mouse later named simply 'Whitey'.[1] Later on, in the 1925 novel Doctor Dolittle's Zoo, Whitey founds with the doctor's help the Rat and Mouse Club, whose membership eventually reaches some 5000 rats and mice.
Doctor Dolittle's household does not include a cat, and the animals associated with him express a strong anti-feline prejudice (especially since mice play an increasingly important role). Only late in the series, in the 1933 novel Doctor Dolittle's Return, is a very special kind of cat introduced - a Moon Cat, whose kind developed very different traits to Earth-bound cats and altogether stopped being predators. Even so, the cat initially gets an extremely hostile reception.
Inspiration[edit]
One inspiration for his character appears to be the Scottish surgeon John Hunter.[2][3]
Stories[edit]
The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle
The Story of Doctor Dolittle: Being the History of His Peculiar Life at Home and Astonishing Adventures in Foreign Parts Never Before Printed (1920) begins the series. The sequel The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle (1922) won the prestigious Newbery Medal. The next three, Doctor Dolittle's Post Office (1923), Doctor Dolittle's Circus (1924), and Doctor Dolittle's Caravan (1926) take place during and/or after the events of The Story of Doctor Dolittle. Five more novels followed, and after Lofting's death in 1947, two more volumes of short, previously unpublished pieces appeared.
The stories, in order of publication, are: Bodog poker reviews.

Gub Gub's Book: An Encyclopaedia of Food (1932) is purportedly written by the pig. It is a series of food-themed animal vignettes. In the text, the pretence of Gub-Gub's authorship is dropped; Tommy Stubbins, Dr. Dolittle's assistant, explains that he is reporting a series of Gub-Gub's discourses to the other animals of the Dolittle household around the evening fire. Stubbins also says that the full version of Gub-Gub's encyclopaedia, which was an immense and poorly-organized collection of scribblings written by the pig in a language for pigs invented by Dr. Dolittle, was too long to translate into English.
Dr Dolittle Playing Near Me
Doctor Dolittle's Birthday Book (1936) is a little day-book illustrated with pictures and quotations from the earlier stories. It appeared between Doctor Dolittle's Return and Doctor Dolittle and the Secret Lake.
'Doctor Dolittle Meets a Londoner in Paris' is a short story included in The Flying Carpet, pp. 110–19 (1925), an anthology of children's short stories and poems with illustrations by Cynthia Asquith.
Chronology[edit]
The main events of The Story of Doctor Dolittle take place in 1819 or 1820,[4] although the events of the early chapters seem to be spread over several years. The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle begins in 1839.[5] Backstory references indicate that Dr. Dolittle travelled to the North Pole in April 1809, and already knew how to speak to some species of animals at that date, suggesting that the early chapters of The Story of Doctor Dolittle take place before that date.[6] However, it is possible that the internal chronology is not consistent.
The internal chronology of the books is somewhat different from the publishing order. The first book is followed by Doctor Dolittle's Circus (1924), Doctor Dolittle's Caravan (1926), Doctor Dolittle and the Green Canary (1950), and Doctor Dolittle's Post Office (1923). Only then follows the second book, The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle (1922), continued by Doctor Dolittle's Zoo (1925). After that, the publishing order is restored; Doctor Dolittle's Garden (1927) is followed by Doctor Dolittle in the Moon (1928) and Doctor Dolittle's Return (1933), ending with Doctor Dolittle and the Secret Lake (1948).[7]
The stories, in order of internal chronology, are:
- The Story of Doctor Dolittle (1920)
- 'The Green Breasted Martins' (follows Chapter XII in The Story of Doctor Dolittle; collected in Doctor Dolittle's Puddleby Adventures (1952))
- Doctor Dolittle's Circus (1924)
- Doctor Dolittle's Caravan (1926)
- 'The Crested Screamers' (takes place within Part One, Chapter 12 of Doctor Dolittle's Caravan; collected in Doctor Dolittle's Puddleby Adventures (1952))

- Doctor Dolittle's Post Office (1923)

- 'The Story of the Maggot' (given a greatly reduced summary at the conclusion to early printings of Part Two, Chapter 4 of Doctor Dolittle's Garden; collected in Doctor Dolittle's Puddleby Adventures (1952))
- Gub Gub's Book: An Encyclopaedia of Food (1932)

Dr. Dolittle is an isometric simulation adventure game released in 2006 for the PlayStation 2. Developed by Aqua Pacific and published by Blast! Entertainment.Like most Blast! games, it was released only in Europe.
Why It Sucks
- Despite the game's box art clearly trying to imply that it's based on the 1998 film and its 2001 sequel with Eddie Murphy, Dr. Dolittle is shown as a white man in a suit and top hat, looking more like he did in the 1967 film adaption with Rex Harrison.
- Horrible models of main character, animals, buildings and vehicles.
- Even then, Dr. Dolittle looks absolutely terrifying, resembling a badly-made clay version of Sir Topham Hatt/the Fat Controller from Thomas the Tank Engine.
- Most of the text is in Comic Sans font, which gives this game a very cheap feeling and one where very little effort was put in by the developers.
- There are wild animals (elephants, tigers, lions) spawning on the street for some odd reason.
- The gameplay resembles an old Java game for mobile phones.
- This map is empty, lifeless and uninteresting that offers absolutely nothing.
- Short length, this game can be completed in less than two hours.
- Annoying, repetitive walking sound effect.
- There is always a 'DR. DOLITTLE' logo on the top right of the screen for a weird reason.
- The gameplay is really boring, you just walk to animals, you do medicine, talk to them and help them.
- Lack of collision detection: Despite cars roaming through the map, nothing happens when Dr. Dolittle gets hit as the cars phase right through him.
Reception
This game has a score of 2.14 out of 5 on gamefaqs.com, and is the second lowest rated simulation game on the entire site, behind Girl Zone, published by the infamous Phoenix Games.
