"The prime of Lofting's active career lasted only a decade, and during that period he wrote only one other fantasy, The Twilight of Magic (1930), a slightly moralistic tale set in a land-of-fable medieval Europe."
--SFE: Encyclopedia of Fantasy, biographical entry by John Clute (alluding to the Doctor Dolittle series)
Kirkus Reviews (above) covered the 1967 US ed. as "two sequences", featuring "Giles as a boy of nine" and "Giles as a young man", the first a "childhood fantasy" and the complex second "an evocation of a medieval court ...". Either way, a probable disappointment to Dolittle fans.
First British edition.
