Synopses & Reviews
Theodor Seuss Geisel, creator of Horton the Elephant, the Grinch, the Cat in the Hat, and a madcap menagerie of the best-loved childrens characters of all time, stands alone as the preeminent figure of childrens literature. But Geisel was a private man who was happier at the drawing table than he was across from any reporter or would-be biographer. Under the thoughtful scrutiny of Charles D. Cohen, Geisels lesser known works yield valuable insights into the imaginative and creative processes of one of the 20th centurys most original thinkers.
