1950's books

Doctor Dolittle and the Green Canary (J. B. Lippincott & Co 1950 & Cape 1951) Although much of the material had been printed originally in 1924 for the Herald Tribune, Lofting planned to complete the story in book form but never finished before he died. Lofting's wife's sister, Olga Michael, completed the book and it was published posthumously. Everything except the first and last chapter are by Lofting. Much of the material in this book is repeated from the earlier novel 'Doctor Dolittle's Caravan' and tells the story of the Doctor's friend Pippinella the Green Canary, in slightly greater depth.

Doctor Dolittle's Puddleby Adventures (J. B. Lippincott & Co 1952 & Cape 1953) Short Stories with an introduction by his wife and additional material by her sister Olga Michael. The last of the Dolittle books.
