Theodor Seuss Geisel,under the pseudonyms Dr.Seuss,Theo. LeSeig and Rosetta Stone was the creator of Horton the Elephant, The Grinch and The Cat in the Hat.His madcap menagerie of well-loved children's characters stands among some of the finest in all of children's illustrated fiction and literature. What goes on inside the mind of such a genius? How do his thought processes work and where do these brilliant,quirky ideas come from? Geisel was an intensely private person,a man for whom fame was not always welcomed and accepted,a man happier at his drawing table than in front of a reporter or biographer. His books were produced on a large scale and periodically reprinted,endured and enduring as long as there are readers to revel in them. The periodicals in which his work appeared were generally printed only the once,as people threw them away each issue when the next one arrived. Since April 2013,and in March 2015,and this year too,the UK Post Office has altered it's Pricing in Proportion template,altering its weight allowances, dimensions and lowered its compensation rates too! So, please contact seller,because of the lighter weight/value of this item,for correct,insured shipping/P+p quotes - particularly ALL overseas buyers - BEFORE ordering through the order page!
