Theodor Seuss Geisel – better known to his millions of fans as Dr. Seuss – was born the son of a park superintendent in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1904. After studying at Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, and later at Oxford University in England, he became a magazine humorist and cartoonist, and an advertising man. He soon turned his many talents to writing children’s books, which included the creation of the one and only ‘The Cat in the Hat’, published in 1957, which went on to become the first of a successful range of early learning books known as Beginner Books.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Being of a similar age to the author, I could totally relate to the era she was raised in. I too, was raised with domestic help and have guilty memories of wishing things were different, even though I was only six.
Lost Property is written with emotion and leaves you lingering with images of a troubled past. Coupled with this is a feeling of hope and courage as issues are addressed. An excellent local read.
Supreme use of the English language in describing sex and culture and how they function together, how they transform and inform our lives. How we are subject to our biological whims, and how culture has attempted to be champion over our bestial nature's. It's truly a spectacular book
