How the Grinch Stole Christmas was published in 1957. The main character was based on the book’s prolific author, cartoonist and illustrator, Theodor “Dr. Seuss” Geisel, who claimed he was really disappointed with the commercialization of Christmas.
The book’s legacy (and that of any subsequent film adaptations) is remarkable: based on a 2007 online poll, the National Education Association listed the book as one of its “Teachers’ Top 100 Books for Children”. This collection of quotes showcase its impact and duration through time.
