Sobre este artículo
This is a vintage copy of "Doctor Dolittle in the Moon" by Hugh Lofting with its original dust jacket. 1956; J.B. Lippincott Company; Philadelphia and New York. The book features an illustrated title page and drawings throughout by Lofting. From the dust jacket: "This tale of Doctor Dolittle tells of his adventures in the moon, whither he journeys on the back of a giant moth, with Tommy Stubbins, Chee-Chee and Polynesia."
Condition:
Clean covers and spine. Sharp cover corners. Tight binding with no cracks and no loose pages. The pages are clean and appear unread with no stains, foxing or markings. "Happy Birthday" inscription dated 1967 written in pen at the top-right corner of the front end paper. The only issue with the text pages is the title page and the following contents and illustrations pages appear to have been attached at the lower-inner corner by the spine and, in the process of separating them, a small tear resulted (see photo of title page). Overall the book is in Very Good+ condition. The dust jacket has a small piece missing at the bottom-left corner of the front cover; tiny tears at the top and bottom edges of the spine, and a few small tears along the perimeter and flap corners; un-clipped with the original $4.95 price intact on the front flap...overall the jacket is in Good condition.
Sinopsis
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.
