Doctor Dolittle and the Secret Lake chronicles the beloved physician John Dolittle and his loyal animal companions as they travel to a mysterious, hidden lake in Africa, where an ancient giant turtle named Mudface holds the key to one of history's greatest secrets: a firsthand account of the legendary Great Flood. Blending natural wonder with myth and adventure, the narrative sweeps young readers into a tale that is both intimate and epic in its scope.\n\nHugh Lofting, a master of whimsy and warmth, crafts a story that sits at the crossroads of prehistory and imagination, presenting themes of friendship, wisdom, and the enduring power of storytelling. This twelfth and final volume in the celebrated Doctor Dolittle series carries the quiet emotional weight of a farewell, published posthumously and completing the remarkable literary legacy Lofting began in 1920. For those who have always believed that the greatest adventures lie just beyond the horizon — or beneath the surface of an ancient, secret lake — this volume delivers a deeply satisfying and poignant conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130861887707,"sku":"2026200011782-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/7603df22-9327-4efc-a21f-727a60cec1c1.png?v=1786591306","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200011782-secondhand-doctor-dolittle-and-the-secret-lake","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
