To celebrate the ‘Seussentennial’ – the one hundredth aniversary of the birth of Dr. Seuss – HarperCollins are publishing this very special, sumptuously cloth-bound collector’s edition of The Cat in the Hat and The Cat in the Hat Comes Back.

The riotous Cat in the Hat, the most popular of Dr. Seuss’s creations, creates havoc in the lives of Sally and her brother from the moment he steps over the threshold.

To celebrate the Seussentennial, here is a chance to enjoy these two stories of madness and mayhem in an exquisite red velvet-style cloth-bound edition, featuring The Cat in the Hat and The Cat in the Hat Comes Back. Destined to become a firm favourite with both children and adults alike, this delightful book offers a special full colour artwork plate and an introduction by Audrey Geisel, ‘Dr. Seuss’s’ widow, giving a personal insight into life with the man himself. A silver foiled cat on the cover adds to the sumptuous feel of this must-have book.

Theodor Seuss Geisel – better known to his millions of fans as Dr. Seuss – was born the son of a park superintendent in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1904. After studying at Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, and later at Oxford University in England, he became a magazine humorist and cartoonist, and an advertising man. He soon turned his many talents to writing children’s books, which included the creation of the one and only ‘The Cat in the Hat’, published in 1957, which went on to become the first of a successful range of early learning books known as Beginner Books.
