Notă biografică

Hugh Lofting (1886-1947) was a British-born civil engineer turned children's author whose Doctor Dolittle books grew out of illustrated letters he sent home to his children from the trenches of the First World War. The character - a country doctor who abandons human patients for animal ones because he can talk to them - was an immediate commercial and critical success on both sides of the Atlantic; the third book in the series, The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle, won the Newbery Medal in 1923, the year Doctor Dolittle's Post Office appeared. Lofting is a foundational figure in twentieth-century Anglo-American children's fantasy, and the series shaped the animal-companion adventure story for the century that followed. The inclusion case here has to be stated honestly rather than skipped. Earlier volumes in the series, especially the first Story of Doctor Dolittle (1920), contain racial caricature that libraries and publishers have since revised or removed; a 1988 authorized revision, made with the Lofting family's cooperation, cut the most objectionable passages from later editions, and the series' publication history is now a case study librarians use in discussing how classic children's literature ages and gets edited. Doctor Dolittle's Post Office, the fourth book, is less frequently singled out in that discussion than the earliest volumes, but it belongs to the same body of work and shares its complicated legacy; a library shelving it owes patrons that context rather than silence. For readers, the appeal is straightforward: gentle, episodic animal-adventure comedy, built around Dolittle's postal service for the animal kingdom of Fantippo, with the warmth and invention that made the character endure for a century. It is a title many older patrons remember from childhood and want to revisit, or want available for grandchildren, in a form they can still read comfortably. This Clearview Editions large-print printing - 18-point Atkinson Hyperlegible Next, ragged-right, with no word-division - makes that possible for low-vision and aging readers without requiring a library to track down a specific out-of-print revised edition.
