Doctor Dolittle, a little, lovable, old doctor, has so many animal pets spread throughout his house and garden that patients will not come to him anymore. As a result, he becomes poorer and poorer. But he occupies nearly all of his time as the animals' doctor, and soon discovers that he can talk to the animals; Jip the dog, Dab Dab the duck, and Polynesia the parrot.

The BFG is no ordinary bone-crunching giant. He is far too nice and jumbly. It's lucky for Sophie that he is. Had she been carried off in the middle of the night by the Bloodbottler, or any of the other giants - rather than the BFG - she would have soon become breakfast. When Sophie hears that the giants are flush-bunking off to England to swollomp a few nice little chiddlers, she decides she must stop them once and for all. And the BFG is going to help her!

Neil Gaiman has long been inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction. Now he turns his attention back to the source, presenting a bravura rendition of the great northern tales. In Norse Mythology, Gaiman fashions primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds; delves into the exploits of the deities, dwarves, and giants; and culminates in Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods and the rebirth of a new time and people.

A wonderful bedtime story!
I must confess, I’ve never actually read the original Dr. Dolittle; my experience has previously been limited to the Rex Harrison movie and a children’s picture book I used to read to my son when he was small. So I’ve only heard about the racist aspect of the writing that necessitated this “ reboot“ of the original. I can well imagine it, though... well done!
At any rate, I found this version most enjoyable, and perfect for my particular purpose: namely, sleep! It’s a gentle, meandering tale, pleasant and interesting without being overly exciting or violent (an important quality, for me at least, in a bedtime story). The doctor and his animal and human friends travel around by land and sea, encounter people and animals both good and bad, make wonderful discoveries, run into problems and solve them. The doctor is unfailingly good, yet also human, and his friends care about him and try to help him, and he, them. Although I’m glad I listened to the story from the beginning, when I fell asleep and missed a bit, it didn’t feel terribly critical… I know I’ll listen to the whole thing again, and I’ll get all the bits eventually. 😉
James Langton is one of my very favorite narrators, and I knew he’d be perfect for this book... in fact, seeing that he was the narrator convinced me to buy it. His mellifluous voice is always a delight to listen to, and I enjoy the narrative choices he makes and the many different accents he gives the various characters. There is a humorous, whimsical quality to his reading here that is different from much of his other work. Delightful! 😊
