The 500 Hats Of Bartholomew Cubbins
by Seuss, Dr
The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins is a children's book, written by Dr. Seuss and published in 1938. Unlike the majority of Dr. Seuss's books, it is written in prose rather than rhyming and metered verse. The characters of Bartholomew and King Derwin appear again in a later book, Bartholomew and the Oobleck. Set in feudal times, the story begins in the Kingdom of Didd, when King Derwin is riding through a street past Bartholomew Cubbins, a poor boy in the market.
First Edition Identification
The book was first published on September 1st, 1938, by Vanguard Press in New York. The first edition of this book features a red cloth-backed spine with illustrated black paper-covered boards and illustrated endpapers. Wonderful black and white illustrations by the author throughout.
