Description:

Published by Vanguard Press, New York Cadmus Books / E.M. Hale, 1938. This is Dr. Seuss' second book. This is the second edition, a library edition, published in 1938. Hardcover. Unpaginated. In this fairy tale a little b oy finds himself in trouble with a king when he is unable to remove his hat, growing another as each is displaced. The story was inspired in part by a train ride in which Seuss became annoyed with a neighboring rider's hat - which he then began to daydream about removing by force. The proliferation of hats, however, was more directly influenced by Seuss's own collecting: he had almost 100 different hats, including "fire hats, a feathered admiral's cap, and a particularly ornate Czech army helmet" (Jones). It is an ex library book. Please ask specific questions on details, condition, and shipping prior to bidding, ALL ITEMS ARE SOLD AS IS, and the bidder will be responsible for payment.
