Yazar hakkında
Hugh Lofting (1886-1947) was a British author who created the character of Doctor Dolittle, one of the classics of children’s literature. Doctor Dolittle first appeared in the author’s illustrated letters to his children, written from the trenches while serving in the British Army during World War I. Not wishing to write to his children about the brutality of the war, he wrote imaginative letters which later became the foundation of the successful series of novels for children.
