‘The Bippolo Seed’: The ‘Lost’ Dr. Seuss Stories
Lynn Neary, NPR:
Every now and then a treasure-trove of seemingly “lost” literature is discovered. The latest such find is a collection of stories by Theodor Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss. Seuss scholars and collectors have known about these stories for a while, but fans will have the chance to read them in a new book to be released by Random House next fall[, The Bippolo Seed and Other Lost Stories].
…
These are stories that have already been published. Dr. Charles Cohen, a Massachusetts dentist with a passion for all things Dr. Seuss, simply managed to collect them all in one place.
“They came out in the ’50s in magazines,” Cohen explains. “And then when the next month’s magazine would come in, people would throw away the old one. And those stories were forgotten. And literally it’s been 60 years for some of these stories and very few people have seen them.”
The book came out today. Grab it at Amazon.com or whatever other retailer you find appropriate.
