href="/wiki/Dr._Seuss" title="Dr. Seuss">Dr. Seuss</a> and published by <a href="/wiki/Vanguard_Press" title="Vanguard Press">Vanguard Press</a> in 1938. Unlike the majority of Geisel's books, it is written in <a href="/wiki/Prose" title="Prose">prose</a> rather than <a href="/wiki/Rhyming" class="mw-redirect" title="Rhyming">rhyming</a> and <a href="/wiki/Meter_(poetry)" class="mw-redirect" title="Meter (poetry)">metered verse</a>. Geisel, who was a collector of hats, got the idea for the story when he was on a commuter train from <a href="/wiki/New_York_(state)" title="New York (state)">New York</a> to <a href="/wiki/New_England" title="New England">New England</a>, while sitting behind a businessman wearing a hat. The businessman was so stiff and formal that Geisel idly wondered what would happen if he took the man's hat and threw it out the window, and he artistically, albeit erroneously, concluded that the man would "simply grow a new one".<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The characters of Bartholomew and King Derwin returned a decade later in <i><a href="/wiki/Bartholomew_and_the_Oobleck" title="Bartholomew and the Oobleck">Bartholomew and the Oobleck</a></i>. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Plot_summary">Plot summary</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_500_Hats_of_Bartholomew_Cubbins&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Plot summary"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Set in <a href="/wiki/Feudal_times" class="mw-redirect" title="Feudal times">feudal times</a>, the story begins in the Kingdom of Didd. A young peasant, <a href="/wiki/Bartholomew_Cubbins" title="Bartholomew Cubbins">Bartholomew Cubbins</a>, lives on the outskirts of the kingdom with his family; he wears a simple red hat with a single white feather that has remained within the family for generations. One day, Bartholomew is sent into the town to sell some berries, when he comes across the short-tempered king of Didd, King Theobald Thindner Derwin, riding through a street. As per law, one is supposed to remove his or her hat when the king passes by, but although Bartholomew does remove his hat, despite having it in his hand, the king points out and orders him to remove an identically-shaped hat on his head. Bartholomew does so, but another hat is unexplainably under it, when he attempts to remove it, yet another one is revealed to be under it; Whenever Bartholomew removes one hat from his head, another one is revealed to be underneath it. </p><p>The young boy is taken to the castle, where numerous people attempt to remove the hat from Bartholomew's head, but all attempts end in failure. The royal hatter runs away in terror, the King’s wise men only nibble their beards in awe, the King's young nephew Wilfred fails to shoot the hats off with arrows, a great bowman similarly fails with a longbow, and Wizards attempt to curse the hat away but claim that their spell would only work in "Ten Short Years". The King, exasperated by all the attempts, sends Bartholomew to be executed, but once again the laws get in the way as a person cannot be executed by the Executioner with his or her hat on. </p><p>Wilfred suggests throwing Bartholomew from the highest tower as a punishment. The King, while mildly upset by the idea, agrees. Bartholomew begins pushing his hats off rapidly as they climb the tower. As this continues, the hats begin to grow in extravagance and beauty from the 451st hat onwards, the 451st hat having two feathers, the 452nd hat having three and the 453rd hat having three feathers and a small gem, and so on. Ultimately the 500th hat is revealed as the greatest, studded with a massive gem, plumes of feathers from rare birds and gilding, although Bartholomew seems unaware of the fact. The king is stunned by the beauty of the hat, but Wilfred is more incensed than before at the sight of it. He tries to push Bartholomew off the tower against the King's wishes. But the King saves Bartholomew's life by spanking Wilfred as a punishment. King Derwin grants Bartholomew a reprieve, requesting all 500 hats, the 500th being, to Bartholomew’s joy, the final hat, in exchange for 500 gold coins. Bartholomew agrees and is sent home with his massive reward, while the King keeps all the hats in a massive chest to admire for years to come. The story ends with a classic concluding sentence: "They could only say it just 'happened to happen' and was not very likely to happen again." </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Reception">Reception</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_500_Hats_of_Bartholomew_Cubbins&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Reception"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The book received positive reviews from critics. <i><a href="/wiki/The_New_York_Times" title="The New York Times">The New York Times</a></i> reviewer called the book "a lovely bit of tomfoolery which keeps up the suspense and surprise until the end".<sup id="cite_ref-Morgan89_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Morgan89-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <i>Booklist</i>, which had criticized Geisel's previous book, <i><a href="/wiki/And_to_Think_That_I_Saw_It_on_Mulberry_Street" title="And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street">And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street</a></i>, for containing only enough material for one comic strip, praised <i>The 500 Hats</i> as "a brand-new idea, developed into a complete tale, not too long, not too short, just right.
