Magnolia Dolittle Prologue

There once was a peculiar doctor known for his extraordinary ability. He could talk to animals. Doctor Dolittle's reputation spread far and wide. Even the Queen of England called on him. So grateful for his help she gifted him a wondrous sanctuary whose doors were opened to all creatures. His days belonged to the animals, but his heart belonged to one woman.

Lily, the Fearless Explorer.

They traveled the globe going on great adventures. Defending creatures who could not defend themselves. They made an extraordinary team. Soon that team became a family.

It wasn't long before the inevitable occurred and the two lovebirds were wed. With Lily by his side, Dolittle never felt more alive.

Truly it's as if nothing in this life could make his existence any better.

Except for one little thing.

The birth of their daughter.

Magnolia Dolittle.

After Magnolia was born their world became complete. Such great joy and happiness she brought. A bouncing baby girl that never lost her smile, filled with mischief and bubbling laughter. Even for one so small Magnolia loved animals just as much as they did her. The entire extended family was very protective of their newest member and would do anything to protect her.

All was well.

Until one day when Lily left on an adventure all her own.

Tragedy struck this once-happy family.

Lily died at sea.

Heartbroken he locked the gates of the manor and completely retreated from the world.

With only himself left, John Dolittle to alone to raise his and Lily's precious little girl. Isolated in the manor Dolittle taught her everything he knew including the budding languages of other animals as the years passed. Dolittle showed her nothing but love all the while he withdrew desperate and determined to keep the outside world away.

As for the animals whose lives he and Lily had saved they were all left to wonder could anyone save his?
