Geisel.BiographyTheodor Seuss Geisel, beloved author and illustrator of children's books known as Dr. Seuss, was born on March 2, 1904, inSpringfield, Massachusetts to Theodor Robert and Henrietta (Seuss) Geisel. His father, the son of German immigrantparents, managed the family brewery and later supervised (1931-1960) Springfield's public park system. Ted Geisel grewup in the midst of a German American community coping with growing anti-German war sentiment, attended Springfield'sCentral High School as an average student and entered Dartmouth College in the fall of 1921, where he studied English andedited (1924-1925) the college's humor magazine, Jack O'Lantern. After graduating from Dartmouth, he attended LincolnCollege at Oxford University to study English literature, but soon abandoned the effort in favor of pursuing a career inillustration. While at Oxford, Geisel courted his future wife, Helen Marion Palmer.Geisel returned to Springfield in 1926 and began a career as a freelance illustrator by sending humorous pieces andcartoons to newspapers and magazines. With the encouraging sale of a cartoon for twenty-five dollars to the SaturdayEvening Post, Geisel moved to New York and soon landed a job as a writer and artist for the humor magazine Judge. OnNovember 29, 1927, he married Helen Palmer and a year later they made their first visit to La Jolla, California. In 1928,Geisel began what developed into a seventeen year advertising campaign for "Flit" insecticide, a product of Standard Oil ofNew Jersey. The "Flit" account provided financial security and time for the Geisels to travel abroad. Other advertisingaccounts included Essolube motor oil and Essomarine products (both for Standard Oil of New Jersey), the Ford MotorCompany, the National Broadcasting Company, Holly Sugar, and Narragansett Lager and Ale.In 1931, Ted Geisel illustrated his first book, entitled Boners, a collection of children's sayings, which generated enoughinterest to warrant a second volume, More Boners. But the beginning of Geisel's career as the author and illustrator ofchildren's books came with the publication of And To Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street (1937), a work that combinedrhyme and illustration. Geisel published four more books before the outbreak of the Second World War, The 500 Hats ofBartholomew Cubbins (1938), The Seven Lady Godivas (1939), The King's Stilts (1939) and Horton Hatches The Egg (1940).Although his first two books were published by Vanguard Press, Geisel soon switched to Random House as a result of theefforts of Bennett Cerf, editor and chief executive officer.Between 1941 and 1943, Geisel regularly contributed incisive, humorous cartoons critical of American isolationist foreignpolicy to the daily, PM Newspaper. On December 31, 1942, he was commissioned as a captain in the U.S. Army SignalCorps, Information and Education Division and was assigned to the Special Services Division in Hollywood. Rising to therank of lieutenant colonel, Geisel's projects included illustrations for educational publications and a film entitled Your Job InGermany. He received the Legion of Merit award, and after the war, moved to a house in La Jolla, California, dubbed "TheTower."Geisel resumed his career in children's books with the publication of McElligot's Pool (1947) and went on to publish anotherforty books under the pseudonym of Dr. Seuss, thirteen as Theo. LeSieg, and one as Rosetta Stone. In 1957, he publishedhis most famous book, The Cat In The Hat, which was, in part, a reaction to John Hersey's complaint in a 1954 Life Magazinearticle that the primers used to teach reading were dull and repititious. The Cat In The Hat served as a prototype forBeginner Books, a publishing division of Random House headed by Geisel (1957-1991) that promoted children's literacythrough the associative richness of works and images.Three films for which Geisel wrote the original stories have won Academy Awards: Hitler Lives (1946); Design For Death(1947); and the animation short, Gerald McBoing-Boing (1951). Ted Geisel also wrote a musical entitled The 5,000 Fingersof Dr. T. Six Dr. Seuss books have been adapted into television specials, and Geisel wrote an additional four original worksfor television. In 1984, Geisel was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for his "special contribution over nearly half a century to theeducation and enjoyment of America's children and their parents."Helen Geisel died on October 23, 1967. Ted Geisel later married Audrey Stone Diamond and continued to live and work at"The Tower" in La Jolla until his death in 1991.Publication RightsPublication rights are held by the creator of the collection.Preferred CitationDr. Seuss Collection, MSS 0230.
