Geisel, Theodor Seuss (sh) and Evanescent (medicine)


Geisel, Theodor Seuss (sh)




known as Dr. Seuss

born March 2, 1904, Springfield, Mass., U.S.
died Sept. 24, 1991, La Jolla, Calif.

U.S. writer and illustrator.

He studied at Dartmouth College and did doctoral work at the University of Oxford. He began working in 1927 as a freelance cartoonist, illustrator, and writer. Under his pseudonym, Geisel began creating immensely popular children's books peopled with outlandish invented creatures and brimming with nonsense words. And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street (1937), his first Dr. Seuss book, was followed by such huge successes as Horton Hatches the Egg (1940), The Cat in the Hat (1957), How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1957), Yertle the Turtle (1958), and Green Eggs and Ham (1960). Such perennial best-sellers, and his posthumous Oh, the Places You'll Go! (1993), made him the best-selling children's author in the world.
