Dr. Seuss was a pen name for Thodore Geisel (1904-1991),
author of the "Cat in the Hat" series.

Seuss was his mother's maiden name.

The German family name is pronounced "zoice" /'zois/

This was the way Ted pronounced it but he had to defer to the Americanized version.
Everyone else pronounced the name as sooce /'süs/.

Theodor Geisel attended Dartmouth and received a PhD in literature from Oxford.

"Dr. Seuss" is a fictional name.
Geisel was an American. He was born in Massachusetts.
His parents were immigrants from Germany.

I doubt it.

Even Prof. Hofstader who wrote extensively on the problems of translation, especially where meter, rhyme and nonsense words were critical, would blanch at translating Master Geisel's works.
