Amazon.ca: Seven Lady Godivas: the True Facts Concerning History's Barest Family: Books   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30) Originally published in 1939, this revisionist farce attempts to rectify the "shameful" story of "a big blond nude trotting around the town on a horse" and Peeping Tom, the "illicit snooper." The frothy, historical romp presents seven Lady Godivas (Ladies Godiva?) whose father, the Lord of Coventry, is thrown from a horse and killed. Instead of scientific truths we are treated by the author to fanciful origins for seven proverbs about horses as each sister discovers her "horse truth" and goes on to marry her boyfriend. Today's young folks may not be familiar with all seven of the horse proverbs that Dr. Seuss relates in a book that is over 60 years old, but it should not deter from their enjoyment of this amusing tale. www.amazon.ca /exec/obidos/ASIN/0394562690   (604 words)

Seven Lady Godivas: The True Facts Concerning History's Barest Family Top 10 Bestselling Books: Seven Lady Godivas: The ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30) After Lord Godiva is killed when his horse throws him, his seven daughters swear an oath forsaking marriage to the Peeping brothers until they have each discovered a "truth" about horses. Each of the seven Ladies Godiva struggles to learn something from their equine companions, each eventually composing a now common horse proverb. This book was written in 1939 as an "adult" book, presumably because Dr. Seuss's whimiscal drawings of the nude Godivas would have been considered too risque in that era. www.orientalia.org /us/0394562690/Seven_Lady_Godivas__The_True_Facts_Concerning_Historys_Barest_Family.html   (581 words)

Blogcritics.org: Lady Godiva's ride On this day in history, May 31, 1057(?) Lady Godiva rode nekkid through the streets of Coventry as a tax protest.

The Austin Chronicle Columns: Mr. Smarty Pants Knows In 1939, Dr. Seuss released The Seven Lady Godivas, considered his first novel for adults.

KPBS -   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30) One of the interesting things is that Ted Geisel goes down in history of advertising as being the first one to contribute humor to sell a product. His first book that he wrote for adults was "The Seven Lady Godivas" and that was done in 1939 and it was a total flop, and I think it just shows that Ted Geisel was human and that not everything he did was a huge success. And I think that it really didn't bother him at all really although he loved the book. www.kpbs.org /fullfocus/121103_script.php   (791 words)

Mass Humanities: Full Ron Lamothe Interview Yes, it seems that the one book he ever wrote specifically for adults was a total flop. Entitled The Seven Lady Godivas (1939), it played on the old legend but now had seven Lady Godivas, all sisters, and seven brothers who courted them named Peeping (one of whom was named Tom, of course). Apparently, Geisel had trouble drawing the Godiva sisters in the nude: “I tried to draw the sexiest-looking women I could, and they came out just ridiculous.” Only 2,500 copies of a first printing of 10,000 were sold. www.mfh.org /lamotheinterview   (1752 words)

MPR Books - "Dr. Seuss: American Icon" by Phillip Nel Similarly his art, unfairly overlooked because it appears in children's books, cartoons, and commercials, actually covers a range of styles, including Surrealism, Art Nouveau, and Cubism. Bringing to light the adult perspective behind the children's writer, Philip Nel examines Seuss's lesser-known works, such as the "adult book" The Seven Lady Godivas (1939), and the live-action musical The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T (1953). The book also features the most comprehensive Seuss bibliography ever produced, documenting his prodigious output. www.mpr.org /books/titles/nel_seuss.shtml   (276 words)

Register of Dr. Seuss Collection - MSS 0230 Although his first two books were published by Vanguard Press, Geisel soon switched to Random House as a result of the efforts of Bennett Cerf, editor and chief executive officer. For early books, such as THE SEVEN LADY GODIVAS and THE KING'S STILTS, the extant drawings are finished pencil and gouache on board. Later books are typically represented by successive manuscript drafts of text, colored rough sketches and finished ink on board drawings which are subsequently photographed to produce prints which Geisel hand colored and numbered for the printer. orpheus.ucsd.edu /speccoll/testing/html/mss0230a.html   (4027 words)

A rare screening reveals the hidden Dr. Seuss Years before Theodor Seuss Geisel (1904-1991) gained worldwide acclaim for his children's books, he honed his craft making cartoons for other young minds: American soldiers. Racy and suggestive, the animated films are enough to shatter one's innocent appraisal of such Seuss titles as "The Seven Lady Godivas," "Hop on Pop" and -- say it isn't so -- "There's a Wocket in My Pocket!" The short military-training cartoons, along with disturbing propaganda films that Seuss also worked on, were shown to troops during and shortly after World War II. sfgate.com /cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2005/03/16/DDGD8BP7M11.DTL&type=printable   (797 words)
