The Seattle Times has published an article marking the 50th anniversary of the children’s classic How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The article reports that Random House is celebrating the occasion with a new edition of the book, which not only includes the original story, but also a twenty five-page retrospective by Dr. Charles D. Cohen, a Massachusetts dentist who has the largest private collection of Seuss-related items in the world. This 50th-anniversary retrospective traces the evolution of the drawings, describes Dr Seuss’ collaboration with Chuck Jones on the successful TV cartoon that followed the book and surveys the sequels and foreign-language translations.
