Fallen Star Stories

OUT NOW! The Bippolo Seed and other lost stories by Dr. Suess. And it's wonderful! This collection includes seven original stories by Dr. Suess that were originally published in Redbook magazine in 1950 and 1951 (when Dr. Suess was becoming Dr. Suess.) Never before published in a book before, they seemed to have 'disappeared', until the were recovered by Charles Cohen. On the above video, you can hear all about their discovery and road to republication by Cohen and a few publishers at Random House Books for Young Readers Group. Fascinating history.... and a fabulous book!

A collection of lost Dr. Seuss stories has been found and will be published and out in the shops on the 29th September. The Bippolo Seed and other lost stories are a collection of stories originally published in Redbook magazine in 1950 ad 1951. Charles D. Cohen, a noted Seussian scholar and collected, relocated the stories and the new book is his concept. He also wrote an introduction, correcting many of the misconceived notions that have surrounded the worlds created by Dr. Seuss. Any huge fan of the Cat In The Hat, the Grinch and (my personal favourite) The Lorax, will be thrilled to add these stories to their own collections at long last.... and yet another generation of young children can grow up with even more Seuss than there was before! I'm adding the link to the Publishers Weekly article, which tells all...... http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/childrens/childrens-book-news/article/48330-random-house-to-publish-lost-dr-seuss-stories.html?utm_source=Publishers+W...

And more excitement is coming our way in September! After lo these many years, tales from the 1950's collected by an avid collector of 'Suessiana' will be published in book form late September. These include stories clipped from magazines, many of which were the precursors to his famous and well-loved children's books. 'The Bippolo Seed' is described by publisher Random House as being "the literary equivalent of buried treasure" .
