Doctor Dolittle's Puddleby Adventures
1952 book club edition ("Expertly Selected and Edited by Weekly Reader Book Club")
The contemporary book club edition omitted two of the longer stories (†) and there have been later editions of six rather than eight stories, without explanation. Separately, some editions omit the Foreword. In the Foreword, Lofting's widow Josephine Fricker Lofting named her collaborator "my sister, Olga Michael", as she had done in the Foreword to its predecessor, the novel Doctor Dolittle and the Green Canary (1950), which Olga Fricker Michael completed after Hugh Lofting's death.
The first four stories may be read at the beginning of the 1927 novel Doctor Dolittle's Garden. "The Green Breasted Martins" follows Chapter XII in The Story of Doctor Dolittle (1920). "The Crested Screamers" and "The Lost Boy" are to be placed in that order within Part One, Chapter 12 of the 1926 book Doctor Dolittle's Caravan. "The Story of the Maggot" is given a greatly reduced summary at the conclusion to early printings of Part Two, Chapter 4 of Doctor Dolittle's Garden.
