Dr. Seuss Short Biography

Born on 2 March 1904 in Springfield, Massachusetts, United States, Theodor Seuss Geisel (better known as Dr. Seuss) was a children’s book writer and illustrator who created the Grinch character.

In 1925, Geisel graduated from Dartmouth College with a Bachelor of Arts. He proceeded to further his studies by taking a postgraduate at Lincoln College, Oxford.

He returned to the United States in 1927 and moved to New York City, where he found work as an illustrator for Vanity Fair and Life magazine. Geisel also became successful in providing illustrations for advertising campaigns.

In 1937, Geisel’s first children’s book was published, And To Think I Saw It On Mulberry Street was published just before the war and was the first book Geisel used his infamous pen name on.

Geisel published his most noteworthy works in 1957 with the release of The Cat in the Hat and The Grinch Who Stole Christmas!, which eventually became a classic Christmas staple.

In 1984, Geisel was a recipient of a special Pulitzer Prize for the works he had amassed and his contributions to reading over the years.
