Durante la sua carriera da scrittore, Lofting scrisse venti libri, quattordici dei quali con protagonista il Dottor Dolittle.

Engelbrecht Again!
New Kent VA: Dead Letter Press 2008. First Edition . Hardcover. Fine. Keith Minnion and Kariann Childs. F w/o dj as issued limited to 300 hardcover copies beautiful gold design stamped cover smythe sewn for durability includes signed illustrated bookplate by the author; as new unread copy. Engelbrecht returns! If you're not familiar with him Engelbrecht is a dwarf surrealist boxer who does most of his fighting against clocks. His exploits were first chronicled by Maurice Richardson back in the 1940s in the pages of the esteemed Lilliput magazine. Engelbrecht is the most famous member of the Surrealist Sportsman's Club a very dubious society that spends the time it has left between the collapse of the moon and the end of the universe taking the concept of the 'game' to its logical limit for instance arranging a rugby match between Mars and the entire human race or playing chess with boy scouts and nuclear bombs as pieces. Sixty or so years after his first appearance Engelbrecht has returned for another set of exploits that will take him on a voyage around the world into space down to Hell into a labyrinth of plots and counter-plots that could mean the destruction of the entire membership of the Surrealist Sportsman's Club. Running the gauntlet with gorgons competing in the mesmeric tour-de-trance bicycle race climbing the north face of the largest ego in existence playing tug-o-war with entire continents and even indulging in a round of lipograms with the monstrous P�re Ubu - all these are in a day's work for the plucky Engelbrecht! Introduction by Jeff VanderMeer and an afterword "How Engelbrecht Came Again" by the author. <br/> <br/> Dead Letter Press hardcover

Hunter Erin
Alba. Warrior cats
br. ZampadiFoglia disse: «Il Clan della Stella non farà nulla per tenere i Clan insieme. Non è necessario. Appartenere a uno dei quattro Clan è nella nostra natura proprio come l'abilità di inseguire le prede e nasconderci nel buio della foresta. Non importa quel che dicono gli altri: non possono ignorare le divisioni, le differenze, le rivalità che ci uniscono. La linea che ci separa dal Clan del Vento o dal Clan del Fiume è la stessa linea che ci unisce. Il Clan della Stella lo sa e spetta a noi avere fede in quel legame». La società di produzione cinese Alibaba Pictures ha annunciato che il film animato dei Warrior Cats è in fase di realizzazione! Dopo un viaggio estenuante e pericoloso, i gatti prescelti dal Clan della Stella sono tornati nella foresta. Ma nulla è più come prima. I Clan sono piegati dalla fame e i Bipedi stanno ormai occupando il loro territorio. La profezia è chiara: per evitare la distruzione totale, devono lasciare la foresta. Insieme. E mettere da parte le rivalità millenarie... Età di lettura: da 9 anni.

Crepuscolo. Warrior cats
br. Nel quinto capitolo della seconda serie dei Warrior Cats i gatti dei Clan cercano di ristabilire i delicati equilibri in cui avevano vissuto nella foresta. Ma il nuovo territorio nasconde parecchie insidie. «Ma come diventeremo leader?», chiese ArtigliodiMora. «Non credo che StelladiFuoco mi nominerà mai vice. Non ho neppure un apprendista». StelladiTigre era visibilmente irritato. «Quando vai a caccia, ti aspetti che i topi ti saltino in bocca? No. Annusi la preda, la insegui e poi balzi. È lo stesso con il potere. Non arriverà, a meno che non lo cerchi. Entrambi possedete il vero spirito dei guerrieri. So che ce la farete, se seguirete i miei consigli». «Lo faremo!». BrinadiFalco si alzò. «Faremo qualsiasi cosa tu ci dica». Età di lettura: da 9 anni.

Hunter Erin
Il ritorno nella foresta. Warrior cats
ril. Per generazioni, quattro Clan di gatti selvatici hanno condiviso la foresta rispettando il codice guerriero dei loro antenati e cacciando ognuno nel proprio territorio. Tuttavia, il feroce Clan della Tenebra minaccia di estendere il proprio dominio, costringendo il Clan del Tuono ad affrontare una battaglia per la sopravvivenza senza esclusione di colpi. Nel frattempo Ruggine, un micio d'appartamento, ha deciso di abbandonare le comodità della vita coi Bipedi, diventando così una recluta del Clan del Tuono col nome di ZampadiFuoco. E proprio un'antica profezia aveva annunciato che "solo il fuoco può salvare il Clan"... Erin Hunter è lo pseudonimo usato dalle scrittrici Kate Cary, Cherith Baldry e Victoria Holmes. La scelta del cognome Hunter (cacciatore) è un evidente richiamo alla vita dei gatti selvatici in "Warriors". Età di lettura: da 9 anni.

ill., br. PietracheParla disse: "La Tribù dell'Eterna Caccia mi ha promesso che verrà un gatto, un gatto argenteo sconosciuto, che ci libererà di DenteAguzzo una volta per tutte".

Non ho proprio idea di quando né da dove arriverà, ma lo sapremo quando sarà qui. Fino ad allora, gatti della mia Tribù, possiamo solo aspettare". Dopo aver ascoltato dal tasso Mezzanotte la terribile profezia sul destino dei Clan, i giovani gatti prescelti dagli antenati guerrieri devono tornare nella foresta per comunicare ai compagni il pericolo che incombe su di loro. Lungo il cammino incapperanno nella Tribù delle Acque Impetuose, che attende l'arrivo di un gatto argenteo che la liberi da una minaccia mortale...
