Answer:
Theodor Seuss Geisel was born on March 2nd, 1904 in Springfield, Massachusetts.1 His parents were named Theodor Robert and Henrietta (Seuss) Geisel. His father, Theodor Robert, managed the family brewery and later supervised Springfield's public park system after the brewery closed due to Prohibition2 (Prohibition in the United States was a national ban on the sale, manufacture, and transportation of alcohol, in place from 1919 to 1933).4 His mother sung poetry to him when he went to sleep, and Theodor credited this to his future success in poetry.3 Theodor Geisel lived on Fairfield Street, which was very close to a street named “Mulberry Street” which he made famous in his first children’s book, “And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street!”.
Theodor attended Dartmouth College as a member of the Class of 1925.1 There he joined the “Sigma Phi Epsilon” fraternity and the humor magazine “Dartmouth Jack-O-Lantern”. He eventually rose to the rank of editor-in-chief for the Dartmouth magazine. In Dartmouth Jack-O-Lantern magazine, he published his first cartoon, for which he uses “Seuss” as his pseudonym.1 The reason for this pen-name was related to the fact that he was caught drinking gin with friends in the dorm; the headmaster banished him from participating in any more extracurricular activities, and in order to keep working for the Dartmouth magazine, Theodor had to adopt a phony pen-name.
After attending Dartmouth College, Theodor entered Lincoln College, Oxford, intending to earn a Doctor of Philosophy in English literature.2 There at Oxford he met his future wife Helen Palmer, whom he continued to marry in 1927. After that occasion, he returned to the United States without earning a degree.
After World War II, Theodor moved to La Jolla, California with his wife; but on October 23, 1967 his wife, Helen Palmer Geisel, committed suicide after being physically pained from a long struggle with illnesses including cancer, as well as emotional pain over her husband's affair with Audrey Stone Dimond. Theodor remarried to Audrey on June 21, 1968. Audrey is still in control of Theodor’s copyrights/permissions today.
Theodor Geisel never had any children even though he wrote children’s books for a living. He would say, when asked about this, "You have 'em; I'll entertain 'em."2 Geisel died at his home of throat cancer on September 24, 1991 at his home in La Jolla at the age of 87. He was cremated and his ashes were scattered.
Theodor’s pen-name (Dr. Seuss) is most-often pronounced wrong. It is actually of German ancestry, and pronounced “Soice” or “Zoice”, not “Sewss”. Its most common form of pronunciation is actually an anglicised version of his name. Theodor allowed this change to undergo due to the fact that it created a friendly children-related aura to his name (rhymes with Mother Goose).
