In 1939, when Ted Geisel joined Random House Publishing, he had one condition for his new publisher, Bennett Cerf — to print an "adult" book featuring seven naked ladies. 

The Seven Lady Godivas told the story of seven nudist sisters who pledged not to marry until each of them… "brought to the light of the world some new and worthy Horse Truth, of benefit to man."

The images in The Horse Truth Suite Suite are even rarer than those that appeared in the final book, as they were created in anticipation of the book, much like Ted's concept drawings that led to his final pen and ink illustrations. 

The Seven Lady Godivas was the first of three books to blur the lines between these two aspects of his artistic output, allowing Ted's artistic talent to take center stage. The literary works is lushly illustrated with fully developed paintings reminiscent of the Secret Artworks he made privately for his enjoyment.

It is an uncommon treat to offer such an unusual glimpse into the work of Ted Geisel (Dr. Seuss). The Horse Truth Suite is a must-have for any serious Dr. Seuss collection. Enjoy these two magnificent and rare works, and let "horse sense" work in your favor.
