Dr Suess

Theodor Seuss Geisel/Dr Seuss was born on March 2, 1904, in Springfield, Massachusetts When he was 18, he left home and went to Dartmouth College, where he became the editor in chief of its humor magazine. When he and his friends were caught drinking in his room one night, and in doing that he was breaking the rules, so he was kicked off the magazine staff, but continued to help it using the fake name Seuss. Dr Seuss attended Oxford University in England, with plans to eventually become a professor. While at Oxford, he met his future wife, Helen Palmer, whom he married in 1927 In October 1967, Helen, who was suffering from both cancer and the emotional pain caused by an affair Geisel had with their longtime friend Audrey Stone Diamond, committed suicide. Geisel married Audrey the following year. Theodor Seuss Geisel, best known as Dr. Seuss, died on September 24, 1991, at the age of 87, in La Jolla, California. Dr Seuss is famous for his children's books sold all across the world. My favorite books that I have read are - One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish, Green Eggs And Ham, I Can Read With My Eyes Shut, The Lorax, Horton Hears A Who.
