description: Dr. Seuss's first book for adults!Originally published in 1939, Dr. Seuss's first book for adults is a collector's item. It sells for as much as $500 in the rare book market. So you can save up to $490⁰⁵ with this pretty-close-to-the-real-thing edition.Now reissued by multitudinous demand, this book sets the record straight about what really happened in eleventh-century Coventry: there was not one Lady Godiva but seven sisters, all equally bare, and not one Peeping Tom but seven. With unabashed good humor, Seuss romps through history and engages in a little horseplay along the way as he uncovers the origins of seven celebrated proverbs.Wonderfully wacky and satisfyingly scandalous, this is the perfect fillip for all those who thought they had outgrown Dr. Seuss.
