First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. First Edition, 55th Impression. Demy folio, [27.75cm/11inches], full pictorial cloth sans dust jacket, unpaginated. Illustrated exclusiely with caracatures. Please feel free to ask for particulars and/or additional photographs. . The Grinch first appeared in a 33-line illustrated poem by Dr. Seuss called "The Hoobub and the Grinch," which was originally published in the May 1955 edition of Redbook magazine. Dr. Seuss began work on How the Grinch Stole Christmas! a couple of years later, around the beginning of 1957. He had recently completed The Cat in the Hat and was in the midst of founding Beginner Books with Phyllis and Bennett Cerf and his wife, Helen Palmer Geisel. Helen, who had ongoing medical problems and had suffered a small stroke in April 1957, nevertheless acted as an unofficial editor, as she had with previous Dr. Seuss books. Dr. Seuss claimed he was the inspiration for the character, as his wife's health problems and his dismay with the commercialization of Christmas made him feel "very Grinchish" as he looked in the mirror one year on December 26. Dr. Seuss wrote the book quickly and was mostly finished with it within a few weeks. Biographers Judith and Neil Morgan wrote, "It was the easiest book of his career to write, except for its conclusion."[5] According to Dr. Seuss: "I got hung up getting the Grinch out of the mess. I got into a situation where I sounded like a second-rate preacher or some biblical truism. Finally in desperation. without making any statement whatever, I showed the Grinch and the Whos together at the table, and made a pun of the Grinch carving the 'roast beast.' . I had gone through thousands of religious choices, and then after three months it came out like that." By mid-May 1957, the book was finished and in the mail to the Random House offices in New York. In June, Dr. Seuss and Helen took a month-long vacation to Hawaii, where he checked and returned the book's galley proof.The book debuted in December 1957, in both a book version published by Random House and in an issue of Redbook.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near fine. First edition. Included is Dr. Seuss very first children s story, "And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street," which is pulled from publication because it has outdated portrayals of Asian people. These include descriptions of a character described as Chinese as having slanted eyes, eating bowls of rice, and wearing conical hats. It also captions an illustration of a man as "a Chinese man who eats with sticks." The book, in particular this section, was actually altered in 1978 by Dr. Seuss himself: "I had a gentleman with a pigtail. I colored him yellow and called him a 'Chinaman.' That's the way things were 50 years ago," the late author once said. "In later editions, I refer to him as a 'Chinese man.' I have taken the color out of the gentleman and removed the pigtail and now he looks like an Irishman." First printing of this edition with minor creasing and browning to the edges of dust-jacket. 8¼" - 11½". book.
