      abstract = {Dr. Seuss' infectious rhymes, his blue-tufted,  strong-willed creatures, and his knack for pithy,  roundabout plots have been entertaining children--and  adults--for decades. And as biographer Donald Pease shows,  the seemingly haphazard trajectory of Theodor Geisel's life  bears a close resemblance to the zigzag plot lines of his  children's books--by turns a cartoonist, ad agency artist  (for Flit bug killer), author, caricaturist,  documentary-film writer and producer, political cartoonist,  and editor. Pease follows Geisel's life from his childhood  in Massachusetts, to his sacking from the editorship of  Dartmouth's humor magazine, to the publication of And to  Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street--after 17  rejections--which finally launched him on the career for  which he is best known. Given unprecedented access to  Dartmouth's extensive Geisel holdings, Pease captures this  life in full as he offers fresh insights into the sources  of Geisel's creativity, from his surreal images to his  anti-authoritarian stance and slapstick humor.--From  publisher description.},
