About This Item
Doctor Dolittle in the Moon, by Hugh Lofting. First edition 1928.
The pages are intact, the binding is mostly tight, and it is entirely readable. I marked the condition as "fair" because there are a couple of names written in ink on the first few pages, the cover is loose, and there is evidence of some mildew on the spine. Other than that, this book is in really good condition overall.
The illustrations in this book are really unique. Many black and white illustrations, and one in color. The inside of the front and back covers are also illustrated in color. In eight years this book will be 100 years old! **5% of this sale will go towards the fight against racial injustice.

Synopsis
Doctor Dolittle in the Moon (1928) was intended to be the last of Hugh Lofting's Doctor Dolittle books, and differs considerably in tone from its predecessors; the stripped down narrative does not have room for any of the sub-plots and tales previously present. Instead there is a growing sense of an event about to happen that is almost spooky in tone.
