When Moorsden Manor catches fire, Doctor Dolittle and his animals rush to help put out the flames. The owner, Mr Throgmorten, greets the doctor with strange fury, and it soon becomes clear that behind the fire lies a secret: a major insurance fraud that Dolittle and his friends will try to expose.

Recommended for children aged 7 to 9 who enjoy animal stories and the adventures of Doctor Dolittle.
Hugh John Lofting was an English-American writer, trained as a civil engineer, who created the classic children's literature character Doctor Dolittle. The fictional physician talking to animals, based in an English village, first appeared in illustrated letters to his children which Lofting sent from British Army trenches in the First World War. Lofting settled in the United States soon after the war and before his first book was published.
