Named one of the Top 100 Picture Books of all time by School Library Journal, How the Grinch Stole Christmas is a time-honored story of discovering the true joy of Christmas. Considered one of his best, Dr. Seuss wrote the book in just a few weeks, with his wife, Audrey Geisel, acting as editor. The book would be adapted into a fondly remembered television special in 1966 and a feature film in 2000. “His peculiar and original genius in line and word is always the same, yet, so rich are the variations he plays on his themes, always fresh and amusing” (contemporary New York Herald Tribune review). Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. (Item #8291)
