Adapted posthumously from the illustration for the 1957 book, How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Dr. Seuss begins his story with the premise that “every Who down in Who-ville liked Christmas a lot” and their closest neighbour, The Grinch, did not! In his final summation of why The Grinch “hated” Christmas, Dr. Seuss lands on the simple fact that “his heart was two sizes too small.” So how does one’s heart end up in such a state?
In December 1957, Ted Geisel revealed how the previous Christmas had left him peering at “a very Grinch-ish countenance in the mirror.” He realized that “something had gone wrong with Christmas . . . or more likely with me. So I wrote the story to see if I could rediscover something about Christmas that obviously I’d lost.” The moment of redemption in Dr. Seuss’s book is when, after having stolen all the toys from his neighboring Whos down in Who-ville, they still wake up singing on Christmas morning.
As Seuss writes: “And after he puzzled over it until his “puzzler was sore, ‘Maybe Christmas,’ he thought, ‘doesn’t come from a store. Maybe Christmas . . . perhaps . . . means a little bit more!’” When writing The Grinch, Dr. Seuss was expressing his own 53-year-old concerns about the holiday. It took Seuss time to figure out how he felt about Christmas, but as he would later say of The Grinch, “It’s not how you start out that counts. It’s what you are at the finish.”
This piece is a Mixed-Media Pigment Limited Edition on Acid-Free paper with an authorised printed signature by Dr. Seuss.

The artist
Dr. Seuss
From early advertising and editorial cartoons to seventy years of paintings, drawings, and sculpture, Dr. Seuss's horned, whiskered, and winged creatures played while contemplating the issues of the world within deco-inspired landscapes of pure nonsense. The iconographic images became the basis of Ted's most well-known books for children and highlighted the vital importance of unimpeded childhood fun. Dr. Seuss has surpassed nearly all 20th century artists in this regard, having now sold over 650 million books worldwide.
