Hugh John Lofting (Maidenhead, 14 gennaio 1886 – Topanga, 26 settembre 1947) è stato uno scrittore britannico. Nato in un villaggio del Berkshire, dopo gli studi Lofting divenne ingegnere ma fu costretto a lasciare il lavoro per via dello scoppio della prima guerra mondiale. Proprio mentre combatteva in trincea, Lofting cominciò a scrivere dei racconti destinati ai suoi figli e da qui nacque il personaggio del Dottor Dolittle. Rimasto gravemente ferito in guerra, si trasferì negli Stati Uniti e qui morì nel 1947. Durante la sua carriera da scrittore, Lofting scrisse venti libri, quattordici dei quali con protagonista il Dottor Dolittle. Anche tutte le altre opere furono libri per bambini eccetto Victory for the Slain, un poema in sette volumi sull'inutilità della guerra scritto nel 1942.

OTTIME CONDIZIONI GENERALI, LIEVE BRUNITURA, LIEVI SEGNI DEL TEMPO; PICCOLA ROTTURA AL BORDO SUPERIORE DEL DORSO. Il gatto con gli stivali è una fiaba popolare europea. La più antica attestazione scritta della storia risale a Giovanni Francesco Straparola, che la incluse nelle sue Piacevoli notti (pubblicate a partire dal 1550) con il titolo di Costantino Fortunato; è incerto se Straparola abbia inventato la fiaba o abbia semplicemente trascritto un racconto della tradizione orale. Un secolo più tardi, vide la luce la versione di Giambattista Basile. Nel Romanticismo tedesco fu Ludwig Tieck a scrivere questa fiaba con linguaggio tipicamente romantico, prendendosi gioco della letteratura del tempo. Apparve in "Fiabe popolari" dello stesso Tieck, insieme ad altre celebri fiabe come Barbablù; la loro caratteristica era quella di nascondere l'orrore attraverso la comicità, o l'ironia. Celebri divennero anche le versioni create da Charles Perrault e dai Fratelli Grimm.
