	Hugh Lofting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hugh John Lofting (Maidenhead, Berkshire, England January 14, 1886 - Topanga, California September 26, 1947) was a British author, trained as a civil engineer, who created the character of Doctor Dolittle - one of the classics of children's literature.
		After serving in World War I, in which he was seriously wounded, he and his family moved to Connecticut in the U.S.A. He was married three times.
		Hugh Lofting's doctor from Puddleby-on-the-Marsh who could speak to animals first saw light in the author's illustrated letters to children, written from the trenches during World War I when actual news, he later said, was either too horrible or too dull.

		Chris Lofting usually gets quizzical looks when he tells people that he is the son of Hugh Lofting, author of the "Doctor Dolittle" books about the doctor who talks with animals and goes on fantastic adventures...

	Dr Dolittle the musical by Leslie Bricusse based on the stories by Hugh Lofting on stage in London's West End ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		From the second it starts and Hugh Vanstone's lighting comes up on the huge sky-blue panels on either side of the vast stage, you realise you are in for a colourful show.
		Not having read the Hugh Lofting stories or seen the movie, I knew little in advance other than it was about a doctor who talks to animals.
		Still, with Eddie Murphy's film version waiting in the wings and this new musical, loosely adapted from the Sixties film starring Rex Harrison, it seems that Hugh Lofting's idiosyncratic tales, written as a form of escapism from the horrors of the trenches in the First World War, are inching their way back into acceptance.
