After attending Dartmouth College and Oxford University he began a career in advertising. His advertising cartoons featuring Quick Henry the Flit! appeared in several leading American magazines. Dr. Seuss's first children's book And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street hit the market in 1937 and the world of children's literature was changed forever! In 1957 Seuss's The Cat in the Hat became the prototype for one of Random House's best- selling series Beginner Books. This popular series combined engaging stories with outrageous illustrations and playful sounds to teach basic reading skills. Brilliant playful and always respectful of children Dr. Seuss charmed his way into the consciousness of four generations of youngsters and parents. In the process he helped kids learn to read. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1984 and three Academy Awards Seuss was the author and illustrator of 44 children's books some of which have been made into audiocassettes animated television specials and videos for children of all ages. Even after his death in 1991 Dr. Seuss continues to be the best-selling author of children's books in the world. Bibliographic .

Greatheartan Alsatian puppywas born in a kennel close to the Mendip Hills in Somerset.When about to be soldhe ran off and took up life in the wild.During a very bad winter which brought famine into the lives of many wild creaturesGreatheart became their championand by doing so was made an animal with a price on his head.Trekking into Devonfollowing the trail of two ottersGreatheart meets with misfortune.Being homeless he finally succumbs to the charm of Lionel Radmorea Devon farmerand a great affection springs up between the two.When finally Lionel goes away on military servicethe dog sets off in search of himbecomes adopted by the Army and is trained as a guard dog.No more moving scene can be found in the annals of animal fiction that that where Greatheart finds his beloved master buried under the debris of a demolished barracks. Undoubtedly a stirring story for readers of all ages written in striking proseand ably illustrated by C. Gifford Ambler who has so convincingly caught the sensitive mood of this fine animal story. Joseph Eugene Chipperfield 1912-1976 was a writer and worked as an editor and script writer of documentaries. He was brought up on a farm where he developed his love of countryside and animalsboth of which feature in all his books. He travelled around Europe making notes on wildlife and researched many of the locations of his books first hand.His novel Storm of Dancerwood is based on his experiences travelling the west country with his Alsation Max. As well as his horse stories he wrote many books about dogs which are probably considered his best worksalso other animalsusually in the wildsuch as eaglesfoxes and stags. His pony books were all about wild horses set in America. Christopher Gifford Amblerborn 1886worked as Christopher Ambler.Animal painter and illustrator.He drew in pen and ink pencil or brushoften with halftone washesin a boldcheerfully sketchy style.Recorded as having briefly illustrated the boys' paper Nelson Leein 1929.
