in 2018, having greatly enhanced the financial value of her husband’s writings, which include such classics as “The Cat in the Hat,” “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” and “Green Eggs and Ham.”Theodor Geisel, who went by Ted, died in 1991, more than 40 years after he took up residence in his pink stucco, red-tiled roof hideaway on a grubby slope that spills down to the sea.
