Title Reference: The Story of Doctor Dolittle
Notes:
1950s publication probably WorldCat library records (search "Heirloom Library"; series search se:"Heirloom Library") suggest that HL was a publication series from Chanticleer Press in the early 1950s, Weidenfeld & Nicolson in the late 1950s

Chanticleer Press published many art books, including history of arts and crafts. Hardcover expected, with some color illustrations if Lofting produced any.

WorldCat (OCLC, below) states "[1922]", which indicates that the date is not published in the book. See publisher Heirloom Library, or publisher Chanticleer Press if the other is not in the database.
