Series scrutinising the lives of prominent children's authors.

Ted Geisel's careers in advertising and film-making were in no way unsuccessful, but it was as an author and illustrator, working as Dr Seuss, that he achieved worldwide fame, with The Cat in the Hat selling over 400 million copies.
A very private man with an anarchic sense of humour, he experienced private tragedy as well as phenomenal success. Testimony from friends, fans and his widow accompanies rare home-movie footage and extracts from Seuss's work.
Narrated by Connie Booth.

Julian O'Halloran investigates files unearthed recently in Buenos Aires, Argentina, linking President Juan Peron and his venerated wife Eva to a secret operation to make the South American country a major haven for Nazi war criminals.
It is known that notorious murderers Adolf Eichmann and Eric Priebke fled to the region, which was providing escape routes where they could evade recrimination. However, some sources believe that many other war criminals involved in Hitler's atrocities also hid there.
With anti-Semitism already rife in Argentina, some Jews fear that the inquiry into these allegations, launched by the foreign minister, could spark further terrorist violence.
