Bartholomew Cubbins

Bartholomew Cubbins

Bartholomew Cubbins, a Page (servant), is the hero of three children's story books by Theodor Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss:

*"The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins" (1938)
*"The King's Stilts" (1939)
*"Bartholomew and the Oobleck" (1949)

Robert L. Short, in his book "The Parables of Dr. Seuss", points out that Bartholomew shares a name with one of the Apostles of Jesus, and that he is the one who exhorts the silly King into humility and repentance. Thus Bartholomew acts very much like a Christian Prophet.
