Hugh Lofting, nelle trincee della prima guerra mondiale, decide di non scrivere ai suoi figli ciò a cui sta assistendo, e allora, nelle sue lettere, scrive loro racconti fantastici, che diventeranno in seguito, nel 1920, le avventure del Dr. Dolittle. Questo personaggio, a cui si sono ispirate molto liberamente varie sceneggiature cinematografiche, è un medico a cui piacciono più gli animali delle "persone di riguardo". Pertanto, con l'aiuto del suo pappagallo Polinesia, impara presto a parlare tutte le lingue degli animali.

Il personaggio creato con tanto successo da Lofting non poteva essere lasciato dopo solo un libro, e così vengono scritti e pubblicati una serie fortunata di libri in cui le avventure di Dolittle si arricchiscono di un altro protagonista umano, in cui facilmente i ragazzi possono identificarsi.
